Pass through key

Pass through key

[Steve Holmes]

I don't know if this is already covered or not, but is there a "pass
through" key for speakup? I'm thinking of programs like workbone to play
CD's which uses the numeric keypad to operate it.

There is not currently a pass through key or mode.  You can use the
number keys along the top of the main keyboard for workbone.

Hi Steve -
Workbone says to use the numeric keypad numbers, but actually the ones
across the top row of keys work too. I use it that way.

HI
     Currently, there's no such thing. And there's better CD players than
WorkBone. One, cdcd, is command-line and interactive. The interactive
thing is like a ftp-style prompt, where you'd enter commands like "play"
and 'stop". And it supports CDDB, which workbone doesn't. However,
workbone can be operated by the numbers on the regular keyboard as well.
Though it's kind of hard to understand how the keys are layed out, because
the help screens have the stuff layed out in the numeric keypad with
arrows on screen rather than text. For example, stop is labeled with ==
rather than the word. This made it really hard for me to learn it.
If you want it, cdcd is available at:
http://cdcd.undergrid.net
or I could send a slackware package if you want it.

Jacob -

I installed cdcd without any problems, and am in love with it! You and
Buddy were absolutely right. What a pleasure this little program is. I
especially like the cd database feature and have retrieved available info
on my collection of CD's to start with. Thanks for the pointer.

I don't presently have a sound card in that 486 I'm running linux on but
the CD ROM drive does have an ear jack on it.  I wonder if I could use the
program in that primative state to take advantage of the CD database.

That is an interesting question. The cdcd software installs ewasily
enough; give it a try and tell us what happens.
