As for preserving your keymap changes, as far as I know it all works like this: genmap produces speakupmap.h, which is later included by the code as the default keymap; so at least in theory any changes you make to speakupmap.map should take effect when you recompile. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 1:50 PM Subject: Re: continuous reading feature > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > As Chuck has pointed out, the keymap tutorial is out of date, and > keymap.map has in fact been replaced by speakupmap.map.
