Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Willem van der Walt" Cc: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2019 10:35 AM Subject: Re: : Using enter or using arrows, that is the question Hi all, Janina, thanks for the suggestion, but no, I am writing this in python, alsamixer is written in C as far as I know. It is just the way I have written the code which kind of precludes the up/down arrow thing, and that I do not really see what is so wrong with the current way things are done. What I might consider doing, would be to replace the two options, one for up and one for down, with one option, e.g. Playback volume 30 percent I can then make it use two other keys, e.g. pageup and pagedown or f2 and f3 to go softer or louder. I am not that keen on doing it, as it deviates from the way things are selected and used throughout the rest of the program. The up/down arrows are already used to move among the options. Left and right arrows would be the obvious choice, but I am using speakup and it will say space if I use them. One can also make the keys configurable later. One needs the percentages when e.g. trying to get a silent soundcard going, and if I take it out there, how would you know at what levels the controls are? Hope this make sens.
