I myself am a big fan of the 'roguelike games', and have found that for the most part Speakup works tolerably well with most of them. (The only real annoyance I can see is that the keys to move by lines are defaulting to reading the new line--and in the case of a game like Nethack or Rogue that doesn't always make much sense. I was wondering about a possible feature to toggle the up-down behavior--possibly to read characters, words, or lines as appropriate? > Also, I was wondering what anybody else on here thinks?
