Speaking as one who has recently (and with trepidation) cracked a Python book or two: Might Speakup be more helpful regarding white space at the beginning of a line? Those who know about such things will immediately recognize that this kind of information is critical in languages like Python. I would suggest two ways to get useful data like this. Either or both would do the trick, I'm sure. 1.) A configurable toggle to announce, in a different pitched voice, the number of white space elements at the beginning of a line. So, for two tab chars it would say "two," and for 4 spaces (ASCII 32) it would say "four." I believe asap for DOS did something like this. 2.) A togglable configuration feature that beeps the speaker. So, 2 tabs would yield two beeps. This would probably be less valuable in circumstances where there are many white space chars -- 8 beeps for 8 spaces might be less helpful, in other words. What'ch'ya think, Kirk? Yes, yes, I know. I should be able to just send you a patch. But, I'm just beginning to crack the books! <grin>
