Research direction

The issue identifies the table editor but names no files, tests, or specific entry point. Start by locating the table editor and reviewing how it currently accepts braille input; clarify the expected six-key workflow and supported codes before estimating implementation. Done means six-key entry works for specialized table transcription, including music and math braille.

Description

enhancement

Transcribing complex or non-standard tables can be difficult without six-key entry support. Adding six-key entry functionality to the table editor would improve accessibility and make specialized table transcription like Music, Math, or other specialized braille codes, workflows more efficient.
