This patch updates support for the Optelec Alva BC6 series braille displays. It currently does the following:

  • Detect the secondary cursor routing buttons. They are not assigned to any NVDA actions at the moment.
  • Add more key bindings, largely based on the bindings for other screen readers as described in this document from Optelec.
  • Update the key commands documentation accordingly.

To do:

  • Implement meaningful scripts to be triggered using the secondary cursor routing buttons. A good start would be the reportFormatting script. See the Papenmeier driver for a possible implementation. Ideally, it should be possible to call this script for an arbitrary position without first routing the (review) cursor there.
  • Add bindings to change the cursor shape and toggle the cursor on/off. Depends on Options to toggle the braille cursor on/off and change its shape #5198.
