A real usable and real useful way to configure emacs for me at least is with the use of M-x customize-browse. The reason for that is that M-x customize is inaccessible. With M-x customize-browse, controls a user can manipulate get brackets around them and you can have one of four states inside those brackets. If you got a space, that control is what sighted people call grayed out and unavailable. A star in a bracket only happens inside radiobuttons and only one of them will have the star. When your cursor gets on top of a left bracket, then that control is what sighted people call highlighted. If the control has a minux sign in it, it means at you can hit enter and that control changes to a plus sign. Hit enter once more on that control and you get put into another window in which you can make changes. In order to make a change, first you have to edit a [value] control and put an acceptable option into it selectable from a radiobuttons box below it. Even then, you did no damage yet or changed nothing yet. In order to do that, you have to edit a [state] control and just hit one of the single digit selections don't hit enter to make that work. I had tried using M-x customize earlier and found it inaccesible since controls would appear on screen and I couldn't distinguish them from text since I don't have color or attribute reporting on constantly with speakup. However this alternate interface enabled me to create an .emacs file with customize-browse which throws no errors when doing my editing. Spend some time in M-x customize-browse and you may come up with some new things to try with emacs once you save your changes. jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
