Hello Dave and all,
Scrolling one line up or down is one of the most frequently performed
actions, so, imho, having a little redundancy on it could be a good idea.
I personally use left rocker much more than left wheel, especially while
editing text like source code, so I would like the default behaviour to be
restored at least for that rocker. Having the right rocker simulate the
physical cursor one-line scrolling seems a good choice, so I probably would
leave the binding for the right rocker unchanged in the new BRLTTY
version.
All the best
Michela

My Focus 40 braille display immediately started to work during boot on Ubuntu
12.04. However, I seemed not to be able to use the rocker bar to scroll one
line up or down: pressing the left rocker bar (top or bottom) had no effect at
all, while the right rocker bar moved the physical cursor up or down (which is
not what happens usually).
That, inadequate as it may be, is actually what I'd expect. Let me explain.
I'm assuming you were using an older release of brltty. At first, the default
settings of the Focus were used. The default settings made the rockers
equivalent to the wheels. In some release (I forget which one), we enabled a
feature which lets the new keys function as new keys rather than as equivalents
to old keys.
At that time, which was early days for that style of Focus, it didn't have many
brltty users. I asked for suggestions regarding what to bind the new keys to
but didn't get a lot of feedback. That's why their bindings are so minimal.
Now is a very good time to give us suggestions as brltty-4.4 is within a week
or so of being released. Please let us know what you think.
If there are any other Focus users with opinions on the matter, please also
offer your suggestions.
