Hi.
Thanks for the info. My question was asked in my attempt to get my
Braille Lite to work with Gnopernicus. It "sort of works", but I still
haven't been able to map any key on the Braille Lite to a Gnopernicus
function.
I wish Gnopernicus would switch to using only BRLAPI instead of using
code specific to braille displays produced by the company that wrote
Gnopernicus.
