Sergei and all, This is indeed usefull. I would ask, when you are sitting on the character, what does typing do? Also, if you move to the right, what do you hear? do you hear the character you are sitting on or the next character? -- Johnnie Apple Seed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sergei V.

My main working environment in Linux is Emacspeak. And for me it is easier to think that the cursor is pointing on the character I am currently working with. Therefore, when I use command such as 'emacspeak-speak-char' and hear the result I always know that when I press a delete key this very character will be deleted and when I press a packspace key a character before the current character will be deleted. Of course this behaviour can be easily changed but it works just as like I want it to work. Hope I said something meaningful and useful for you. <smile> -- With best regards, Sergei. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
