Description

MathCAT added a call to allow controlling the navigation position from a refreshable braille display. This needs to be hooked up in the addon.

I noticed some routeTo functions, but I'm not clear how they can be hooked up for math. They are associated with Region and ObjectRegion.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how NVDA's Region and ObjectRegion classes handle braille cursor routing through the existing `routeTo` functions. Then explore MathCAT's new API call for controlling navigation position, and trace how to hook it up within the MathCATForPython addon to change the cursor position when a braille display is used.
