I have just been doing some bash scripting training, and in that they were teaching using vi (the training was for people who may never have used unix before), but I have to say I just wasn't getting on with vi. How does speakup work with vi best? I found it not very good. People were saying to me that nano isn't so powerful (and I know what they are getting at), so I am thinking about emacs (or emacspeak). It seems more to my liking than vi, but I have a few questions about it. If I were to use emacspeak, how is it best to stop conflicts of speakup and emacspeak wanting to use the same synth (an apollo in my case)? Or is it good to use emacs with speakup (so doing away with emacspeak? Or alternatively, is there any other editors people might suggest. From Michael Whapples
