Re: Braille does not follow cursor in Mate Terminal

[Patrick ZAJDA <patrick@zajda.fr>]

    Hello,
    
    Thanks, I did not try to use a BRLTTY command but I used a different
    approach by breaking the condition to run BRLTTY in
    /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xbrlapi on line 13.
    And I can now use the review cursor in Mate Terminal.
    Not an elegant solution at all I know, but it answers the question,
    it is because BRLTTY provides access to graphical terminal.
    I understand it is since Bullseye I have used in desktop environment
    less than a day.
    
    So I'm going to post on Orca list as suggested, thanks.
    
    Best regards,
    
    Patrick
