While we're on the subject of laptops, is their a speakup keymap for 
laptops?  How do you perform the speakup commands you would use on the 
numberpad of a regular keyboard?

Sure is, and probably installed by default.

The capslock key becomes the Speakup modifier. The rest is a la pop up
keyboard, e.g. CapsLock-I is read current line and CapsLock-O is read
next line.

This isn't laptop specific. You can do it on a full 104 if you want to
save your shoulder. I'm trying to do this more and more because my
shoulder is showing signs of repetitive stress after 20 years of
computing. I've even looked around for a keyboard with a left-handed
numeric keypad because of that, but the pop up screen review is smarter.

What I have been meaning to ask Kirk and the others who work on coding
these things is how hard or easy it might be to provide a means to flip
the qwerty definitions. For example, to split bilaterally down the
qwerty between g and h so that CapsLock (or left alt or some such) plus
E becomes current line.

Hi all,

	Yes, Janina, you are right here. It is part of the speakup patches applied when you select speakup in the configuration of your kernel. I designed the keymapping to emulate the numeric keypad layout for the most part. David Borowski integrated it into the speakup patches and Kirk included it with them in CVS speakup.

	This was done over a year ago, and David  said that he was thinking of making user-definable keymappings easy at that time, I haven't heard from him in a long time. So I don't know if this is still in his 'to-do' list or not.

	I haven't messed with it since last year so I can't explain accurately/briefly what would be needed to alter the keymappings. However, it should not be too hard to do. Essentially, what you would need to do to customize your keymap to personal preference is:

After applying the CVS patches for speakup, modify the keymap definitions in:

/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup/speakupmap.map

to suit your preferences. Then compile/install the kernel as normal and Congratulations! you now have your very own keymap definition.

	I'd suggest not doing this unless you are comfortable with compiling the kernel. ... and if something breaks... well, like Kirk says, "You get to keep all the pieces"!

	Read on...

	Glad you like it Janina! I use it on all my keyboards too. But not everyone likes the same layout! :-0

	You can do that if you want. See above.

When you compile a kernel with speakup there should be an executable
called genmap created in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup. Use this
program as follows after you make the changes you want to
speakupmap.map.

./genkey speakupmap.map >/proc/speakup/keymap

This should update the keymap in the currently running speakup. What I
have done is to write a keymap to /etc/speakup/ and then used
speakupconf to load and save it. Since I haven't done this in a while
standard disclaimers apply, YMMV, Etc.

Thanks, Terry. And please forgive me for not remembering that you were

Oh, and thanks for the great job. Between your keymappings and software

A statement like " spk key_numleft = prev_char" makes a bit of sense to me 
at least (note that I haven't looked at a keymap in 3 months or more, so 
don't go quoting me on the syntax anyone). As to building keymaps from 
scratch, a solution would be farily easy; you'd need ncurses, cbreak, a list 
of  speakup functions... I'm going on a tangent.

You don't even have to run genmap; just recompile and it's a standard target 
in speakup.

If you look down, you'll see something similar, but with a lot of $(src) in 
it; this is the 2.6 stuff. Kirk says that 2.6 handles these things 
differently, so there has to be a different type of target.

Well the reason I ask is I never got a genmap binary out of the Make
run.  Does the keymap get generated by some other means? Oh, I see
now; I took a look at the rest of the makefile and there's stuff in
there.  I sure don't quite understand the new Makefile layout.  I
guess that's a 2.6 kernel thing.  Apparently when I last built this
(CVS from June 7th, the compile must not have worked with genmap.
When I tried it now, it seems that there's something missing.  I'll
have to give the 2.6.8.1 kernel a try with make and see if genmap gets
built properly.  I'll have the latest CVS pull from yesterday which
has a date of Aug on it.
