I personally *don't* like this idea, it appears to be trying to make a gui kind of thing out of speakup. If you want something like this there is already a speakupconfig utility up on the linux-speakup ftp site, and it could be updated/rewritten for the new version. While new features in speakup are great, I fear that it may become too bloated if all these suggestions are implemented. Please please don't ever make me press insert+alt+ctrl+shift+anything! Two keys, okay, three maybe, but this is a command line, large numbers of key combos seem rather a cluge. Just my $0.02. *looking for flame retardant underware* -- Unix is a user friendly operating system. It just picks its friends more carefully than others.
