Description Willie Walker 2009-03-26 11:55:31 UTC 
Users have requested the ability to have informational messages show on the braille display for a short period of time.  These messages would overwrite what is on the display and then the display would revert back to what it was showing.  In addition, users would also like a command (presumably via a gesture on the braille display) to redisplay the last informational message shown.

First pass

This is a first pass.  It was written while helping someone debug a build environment over IRC, so I was constantly distracted every minute or so while attempting to write it.  It might have problems, but seems to work well.
Comment 2 Willie Walker 2009-07-17 20:16:53 UTC 
Two additional things to consider:

1) Any key press should also make the flashed message go away
2) Panning left or right should reset the timeout
Comment 3 Willie Walker 2009-07-27 18:03:04 UTC 
Moving to 2.25.90 since this has overlap with bug #523693, which I'd like to get into 2.27.5.

Patch that was committed.

This patch adds in the resetting of the timer when the braille display is panned left/right while a flashed message is up and also adds in the killing of the flash when a key is pressed.  Committed for 2.27.90.
