[BRLTTY] Strategies for copy/paste

>I created a /etc/brltty-hw.prefs file 

That's the old location. It still works so you can still put it there. The new location, however, is /var/lib/brltty/brltty.prefs.

>with content:
>
>Show Attributes: Yes
>Blinking Attributes: Yes
>Attributes Blink Period: 0.8
>Attributes Percent Visible: 25

That's the wrong syntax. I showed it that way because that's how it appears within the menu. The syntax for the .prefs file is:

   show-attributes yes
   blinking-attributes yes
   attributes-visible-time 20
   attributes-invisible-time 60
