BRLTTY TODO - March 30, 2000 ============================ (This concerns the main module of BRLTTY. Individual Braille terminal drivers may have their own TODO lists.) Your help is welcome. - Defining smaller regions of the screen to be concentrated on. Cursor movement outside the current region would be ignored. This would be useful if the screen was split into multiple `windows' (e.g. in ytalk). - Attribute tracking (scroll bars, etc.) - Revision of beeps. Too many events have the same beeps, so we might want to add new ones. See if we could optimize the use of the console resource. Implement .au and .wav sounds (through a soundcard). - Scroll tracking: wouldn't it be great if you could continue reading the line you're on even when new text is printed and the screen scrolls up? Like in IRC for instance... - Better speech support. - Support for more Braille displays. - Port to other Unix platforms. Since all Linux dependent functions are now modularized in separate source files, it would be easy to write other modules to make BRLTTY usable with the screen package or such and then become available for any other Unix platform. An experimental patch is available in the Patches/ directory.
