You should normally be able to find this information in the Speakup user's guide at http://linux-speakup.org/spkguide.txt. However, it seems that the linux-speakup.org is down at the moment. You can still read the user's guide from a mirror like this one. http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/plain/drivers/staging/speakup/spkguide.txt A more clear reference for the speakup keyboard commands can be found at http://webpages.charter.net/newvisioncenter/henke/n8.txt Hope this helps.

Try using the home and end keys to move to the start and end of the line. You can right shell scripts to do almost anything you want. Here in lies the difference. You use the power of the os and not the screen reader to do the tasks for you. There are some great how-to at the linux documentation project, tldp.org that will teach you all you need to take that next step. > > > Stephen Dawes > > -----Original Message----- > From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Storm Dragon > Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 10:18 AM > To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. > Subject: AA Couple of Questions > > Hi, > I have been using Speakup almost exclusively for the last few days and it is great. There are, however, a couple of things that if available would make the experience even better. First, is there a way to move to the beginning and end of the line you are reading? For example, if I want to copy a whole line, I would like to be able to push a key to jump to the first character, press mark, press another key to get to the last character on the line, then press cut. > Second, is there a way to bind keypresses to something else, like a plugin system? It would be really cool to be able to bind a keypress to run a bash script, or perform some other task at the user's choosing. > Thanks > Storm > -- > Registered Linux user number 508465: https://linuxcounter.net/user/508465.html > My blog, Thoughts of a Dragon: http://www.stormdragon.us/ Need a safe and easy way to backup and share files?
