I believe he gives a list of Speakup navigation commands in his Speakup Tutorial. As for Red Hat 7.2 it takes a little practice. At first I thought it looked hard, but after a couple of tries I got the hang of it. I personally love the new default file system ext3 that comes with Red Hat 7.2, and believe it to be more stable than ext2. Esentually, Red Hat installs are a series of dialog boxes, and if you are familiar with using dialogs under MS Windows these will be quite a bit like them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael" <michael.ryan@nf.sympatico.ca> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2001 9:59 AM Subject: Speakup commands > > High list: > > Can anyone point me to a speakup command list? > I don't know how to navigate with speakup. > I think this should be vary important to know before attempting a linux > install.

* RH 7.2 (was: Re: Speakup commands ) ` Thomas Ward @ ` Tony Baechler ` Janina Sajka ` Speakup commands Kirk Reiser 1 sibling, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Tony Baechler @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hello. I attempted to install Red Hat 7.2, just for the experience. I noticed that Speakup would not read the screen by itself when new text appeared, I had to hit the read entire screen key on the numeric keypad. Anyway, how am I supposed to tell it where to install? I already have the partitions set up the way I want. I do not want automatic partitioning. I went into the command line fdisk and set up everything, but it seems to not let me select my newly created partition to install. I can highlight it easily enough, but it insists on making me go through the dialogues. When I think I have it, it complains that there is no root filesystem. What should I be doing in the dialogues? What am I doing wrong? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

In other words, do not select U.S. when prompted to select a keymap. Though it is the default choice, it's the wrong answer. Re disk partitioning, it's well and good to create your partitions with fdisk or some utility other than diskdruid. But, you will need to label at least / and /usr, and I think diskdruid is the only do do that. So, highlight the partition you want to label and select edit. This will drop you into an edit field and you can specify the mount point. On Sun, 4 Nov 2001, Tony Baechler wrote: > Hello. I attempted to install Red Hat 7.2, just for the experience.

Yes, I selected the right keymap and I have screen review, but it does not talk by itself. I have to wait for the text to display then manually read the screen. The RH install is the only program which I have used that does that. It is a lot like direct screen writes in DOS. Anyway, how am I supposed to get to the label field? I can tab to Edit well enough, but I found nothing about label. I guess I will look again, but I think I must be missing it or it is not being identified. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
* Re: RH 7.2 (was: Re: Speakup commands ) ` Tony Baechler @ ` Janina Sajka 0 siblings, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup I don't recall, off the top of my head, what the label entry field is called. I do recall how to get there, though. While in diskdruid you tab until you are on the partition selection list. It's the only place where the up and down arrows work--everything else on that screen is something like add, delete, edit, etc. The one you want follows help--and speakup may actually say help a second time, but it's actually the list of partitions and you use down arrow to move to the partition you mean to label. Then, tab to edit and press enter. At that point you are in an edit field where you type in the label for that partition. If you press the 5 key on the numeric keypad you'll hear that there are some number of "lines" as in underlines which indicates the edit field. Hope this helps.

* RE: Speakup commands Speakup commands Michael ` Thomas Ward @ ` Georgina 1 sibling, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Georgina @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi On the Speakup site there's a file called default key assignments, or something like that. But if you can't visit the site yourself and read the documentation I'll paste it just this once below. Default key assignments: This file is intended to give you an overview of the default keys used by speakup for it's review functions. You may change them to be anything you want but that will take some familiarity with key mapping. We have remapped the insert or zero key on the keypad to act as a shift key. Well, actually as an altgr key. So in the following list InsKeyPad-period means hold down the insert key like a shift key and hit the keypad period. KeyPad-8 Say current Line InsKeyPad-8 say from top of screen to reading cursor. KeyPad-7 Say Previous Line (UP one line) KeyPad-9 Say Next Line (down one line) KeyPad-5 Say Current Word InsKeyPad-5 Spell Current Word KeyPad-4 Say Previous Word (left one word) InsKeyPad-4 say from left edge of line to reading cursor. KeyPad-6 Say Next Word (right one word) InsKeyPad-6 Say from reading cursor to right edge of line. KeyPad-2 Say Current Letter InsKeyPad-2 say current letter phonetically KeyPad-1 Say Previous Character (left one letter) KeyPad-3 Say Next Character (right one letter) KeyPad-plus Say Entire Screen InsKeyPad-plus Say from reading cursor line to bottom of screen. KeyPad-Minus Park reading cursor (toggle) InsKeyPad-minus Say character hex and decimal value. KeyPad-period Say Position (current line, position and console) InsKeyPad-period say colour attributes of current position. InsKeyPad-9 Move reading cursor to top of screen (insert pgup) InsKeyPad-3 Move reading cursor to bottom of screen (insert pgdn) InsKeyPad-7 Move reading cursor to left edge of screen (insert home) InsKeyPad-1 Move reading cursor to right edge of screen (insert end) KeyPad-Enter Shut Up (until another key is hit) and sync reading cursor InsKeyPad-Enter Shut Up (until toggled back on) and sync cursors InsKeyPad-star n<x|y> go to line (y) or column (x). Where 'n' is any allowed value for the row or column for your current screen. KeyPad-/ Mark and Cut screen region. InsKeyPad-/ Paste screen region into any console. Hitting any key while speakup is outputting speech will quiet the synth until it has caught up with what is being printed on the console.
