A potentially better idea would be to have a single key to set all speech parameters from a menu or mode or something. You would press something like speakup-s and either a menu would pop up where you could choose a parameter you wanted to set, or Speakup would enter a speech parameters mode where you could use every key on the keyboard if necessary to set any and all speech parameters. Then you could maybe press speakup-s again to exit this mode or even the escape or q key or something. Just a thought Lorenzo Linux: the operating system with a CLUE...
