[nfbcs] Programming with a Braille display

[Tracy Carcione]

Another thing I really like about my braille display is that I can yank
the cursor right to the position I'm looking at by hitting the cursor
routing button, so I can find the bit I want to change and put the cursor
right there with one tap of a button.  Very handy.
