Before we consider other combinations, did you see the key presses in the log 
file I attached to the prevous email? E.g. is it possible that we can detect 
key presses like left+in, are these combinations detected at all by BRLTTY?

If not, we could use the joystick together with a dot, e.g. dot 7 or 8.
