speakup keymaps

speakup keymaps

[Tyler Spivey]

here's  my input:
we could make keymaps for most common screen readers, but speakup needs a bypass  key.
unless we used alt keys, but alt is hard to type.

Hey, one thought for bypass... does any software for Linux use the Scroll 
Lock key? Perhaps that could be used to toggle bypass?

How about using capslock key for commands? One thing I have noticed in Jaws
4.0 is using the capslock for laptop keys, and I am wondering if this is
possible under speakup.
 If it is possible then any number of keys can be asigned with out conflicts
with other programs keyboard commands.
It certainly makes an interesting look into.

Hi. How about using the Windows key?  I've seem messages from other 
Linux lists about people using it for short cuts.

Hmm.... how 'bout all of the above (not in the same keymap). Or a really 
detailed keymap howto, that way the user has the final say.

Maybe we could get creative and make it so a little penguin's picture is
on the old windows key now called the linux key. lol.  But seriously.  I
have not tried with the keymaps to see if that key can even bound.  For
vocal-eyes type laptop layout to read current line could be something
like linux-l, word linux-w, and so on and so forth.

Not sure about the windows key because I'm fortunate to own one of the real
old Ibm keyboards and it doesn't have a windows key on it.

RE: speakup key maps

[Georgina]

Hi

Have I mist something here?  Has anyone written a key map for the UK
keyboard?  Shouldn't the focus be on making it easier on those of us who
don't use US keyboards?

Just a thought.

Yah this one I bought not so long ago and it shows that it was made in 86
and it's in perfect condition.
