Very cool. I knew I should have asked about this sooner! <grin> Also, like the silence Window that I hadn't yet noticed in Speakup CVS. However, I wonder if it will need to be much more sophisticated before it's very useful? For example, I doubt that defining a particular region as silent only makes sense in particular screens of particular applications--not across consoles and all applications, for example. Also, I would expect that being able to specify multiple regions for all kinds of rule based behavior would be the eventual goal, e.g. silent in some apps, auto spoken on certain screens of other apps, chained in a particular order for yet other apps, etc. Thomas Stivers writes: > From: Thomas Stivers <stivers_t at tomass.dyndns.org> > > On 08/03/03 11:25 AM -0400, Janina Sajka wrote: > > Got a great trick for using VIM from Bill. > > > > Start ex, then use vi to go into full screen mode.
