Hi Mario :-) (you may remember my newbe question few weeks ago)

I feel like mc is really unconfortable to scroll, there are lots of
what I would call "garbage characters" (e.g. vert. and
horiz. lines). I use emacs/dired for managing files, and felt very
happy as BRLTTY works fine with emacs.

Sometimes file names are cut with ? between beginning and the end of
the name, preventing recognizing similar file names. Is there a way to
avoid this ? (I really can't think how)

Ok - I personnaly can't stand menus... :-) (personnal feelings)

I won't help here.

But, talking about BRLTTY features, are there generic filters to help
working on one program or another ?

Boris

P.S.: I use BRLTTY with VisioBraille support and had to rebuild the
.deb because the config step broke down. Soon, when I'll be able to
understand Debian packages, I'll try to help about this.
