Thank you to everybody. When I have occasionally gotten in to what I will call mystery mode, I was usually hitting commands to change windows in screen so it's usually Control-A something depending on what one is trying to do at the time and I can imagine accidentally hitting Alt-F1 or some other clumsy sequence while thinking I was hitting something else. It's easy to do if one is maybe standing up and working the keyboard from a slightly odd angle. Someone mentioned mvda. I haven't gotten to use speakup in anything but Linux but I hear that mvda's default speech comes from speakup so there should be many commonalities. Again, thanks to all.
