Yes, that does seem to do the trick indeed. I ran into the same discoveries yesterday afternoon. Holding down the caps-lock key without enhancements seems to do the exact same thing as does the keypad-insert speakup key. I think this is to help out laptop users. Hey while I'm here, I have a question about the new way keymaps are done now. Can anyone explain how that process now works? What I mean is speakup doesn't come with a key map anymore but I think it is generated by genkeymap.c or something like that. I did not find any program comments to help me out thus my questions here. If I want to alter a keymap or whatever, how do I go about doing that now? Does an actual keymap still exist and I've just missed something or what? Thanks for any help.
