Interesting that even you experienced users have editing troubles.

I think the next edit to lilo.conf then will be a way to let me log in with
a terminal. My trusty old Toshiba T1200 laptop with sounding board still
works fine with como and a variety of screen readers, and I never had
trouble using Vi or pico that way.

I'm really hoping to be able to program using Speakup but I need an editor
that I don't have to think about.

Ah well, I get around that by writing code on my trusty Braille 'n
Speak, and then transfer it for compiling once I've written it. I then
use the editor to fix any errors I get. May not work for everyone, but
it's worked for me for a number of years now (smile).

Re: Effortless editing with Speakup

This is bullshit!  There are extremely powerful editors you can use and
they work just fine.  Either vim or emacs can do just about anything
you want and they work fine with the cvs cursor tracking code.  Cursor
tracking works fine under speakup 1.5 except it doesn't automatically
speak but the cursor should track no problems.  On the other hand
nobody should be using speakup 1.5 anymore.

Hi Greg,
How do you transfer the files between the bns and linux?  The other 
question would be how would I kill brltty so the bns could use the port 
the braille display is conected too?

I transfer files between the bns and linux in 2 ways. The first way is
to use minicom, which works nicely. The second way is when I've used
the bns as a terminal at times, I used rb and sb to do the file
transfers, which had problems when transferring multiple files.
I've also used my copy of pcdisk under dosemu, which worked nicely
too.

RE: Effortless editing with Speakup

[Debee Norling]

There's a great rant at linuxmafia.com about Windows users who still edit on
their Windows box instead of learning Linux. I am determined not to do that,
though I had a fleeting desire this morning to telnet in to the box at home
using my JAWS and Braille display at work to get these edits out of the way.

Re: Effortless editing with Speakup

Not at all. You need to turn off the constant updating of cursor location--so, it's not a vim problem, but a configuration for the user issue.

One way to do this reliably is to start ex and then go into :vi mode.

In vim you can fix this with ":set noruler" or put "set noruler" in your
.vimrc file. There are untold hordes of such options which you can learn
about with ":help options.txt". This all assumes you're using vim and
not elvis. I neither like, nor know about, nor use elvis.

Try emacspeak instead of speakup for programming like c++ I've only played
around a little but it's incredible, tells you what braces and stuff match,

RE: Effortless editing with Speakup

[Debee Norling]

I'm not concerned if the editor is easy to learn. I just don't want to learn
three hard to learn editors! I've been using computers even before Wordstar,
and learning new editors stopped being fun about ten years ago.


Most of my friends use emacs and there is always emacspeak to play with too,
then. So guess I'll learn that.

I telnetted in to my box and did use several editors fine with JAWS and my
braille display under windows. So I guess that means I better upgrade my
speakup. I wonder if I could just replace the slackware 9.1's speakup.i
kernel with mine and if that would work. It took all night, but I
successfully downloaded the first slackware 9.1 iso image and it boots fine
and tells me that the speakup in that kernel is 1.5.

Well, not exactly. Nano has a pico emulation mode, but pico
commands are a subset of nano commands. Even the pico lookalike
stuff work better in nano than they do in pico Clone is the wrong

then nano is probably a good basic editor. It looks just like pico but 
it's cursor tracking with speakup works better. if you're going to do 
some programmin ghthen emacs may be a better solution...from what I've 
seen it's almost as easy to use with speakup as nano and it's got a 
lot more features.

Hi,
I have the same problem in vi.  pico isn't much better when ou are 
inserting text sometimes after you type a letter speakup reads the next 
word.  And the worst example is in naim speakup says "space" before 
every character that is typed.

A cloan in that it looks the same.  Far more flexable, including regular
expression searching, the abilitity to control whether lines wrap, on an
interactive basis, and more.

Where, and what is the latest version of speakup?!

[cris]

Hi Folks,
I went to the speakup website and could not locate the latest version of
speakup.  Where can I find it?  The version I found is 1.5.  Kurk says that
no one should be using 1.5 anymore.  I prefer to get an rpm version of the
latest speakup if it is possible.
Cheers,
Cris

Re: Where, and what is the latest version of speakup?!

[Kirk Reiser]

The latest version of speakup is cvs which can be had by going to the
speakup site and getting readme.checkout and checkout which is a
script to get speakup from cvs and patch your kernel with it.

Come to think of it Bill Acker may have fairly recent rpms available
as well.

[Hart Larry]

Ok, following up on my comments of Wednesday, editing with pico or nano on the
hard-drive works well.  However, while useing ssh to arrow aroundeither of my
shell accounts, the cursorig is problematic.  Please any ideas on how to fix
the interface?
In Jaws useing tteraterm it works fine

Re: Effortless editing with Speakup

[Terry Klarich]

Hello all:

I suspect you have an alias for vi pointing to vim.  At the shell prompt, do an "unalias vi".  This should take care of the
problem.  Vim will then be called in vi mode.

[Roy Nickelson]

hi,
I should probably look more before asking but how do you determine what
version of speakup you are using?  does speakup --version work?

No, "speakup --version" doesn't work, since speakup isn't a program,
at least not in the way that bash for example is a program. If you
want to find out what version of speakup you have, do:

cat /proc/speakup/version

Re: Effortless editing with Speakup

[Janina Sajka]

I use ssh all the time. I only have difficulty over ssh if there are significant lag times between the two systems involved--as when I'm using ssh into my home server while somewhere across the pond on a dialup connection.

Sorry--this is probably not helpful.

hi,
it says Speakup v-2.00 CVS: Thu Nov 27 08:37:36 EST 2003

So now the only question is this the latest version?  I hope so because 
the files aren't in the corect place for me to run the checkout script.

Re: Where, and what is the latest version of speakup?!

If the files are messed or located in the wrong place, I would
recommend that you save off the checkout script to your root user
directory or wherever, blow away /usr/src/linux completely, dump in a
brand new linux-2.4.26 tarball and then run checkout.  In fact, if you
type checkout while your current dirrectory is /usr/src/linux-2.4.26,
checkout will insert the speakup patches in the correct places under
this tree.  The speakup files themselves should end up in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/drivers/char/speakup.  Other patches apply where
they do and you should not get any patch errors with this
combination.  Besure you have a symbolic link linking
/usr/src/linux-2.4.26 to /usr/src/linux and you should be good to go.
Start with the usual config steps.  If you have a previous
configuration from prior kernel compiles then save that file to the
side before this directory reconstruction.

Hope this helps.
