If I move up the cursor one line with speakup + u, how can I jump to the beginning or end of the line? At the moment I stand somewhere and must search the beginning by pressing speakup + j until I'am there. Is it possible to turn on the word echo, so that speakup reads the current word after pressing space? At the moment all non letters are pronounced in english. Is there a translated version of the file i18n/characters for other languages especially for german? If not does someone work on it? I read your documentation file and found the list of shortcuts to control speakup. I'am a laptop user and sadly I only could find the key bindings for the desktop layout. I also tried speakups help system but the key listing is incomplete. Could someone tell me the laptop key bindings for the following commands? 1. cursor tracking mode (numpad *) 2. mark (/) for cut and paste I also want to change the mapping of some keys. But I can't find the file speakupmap.map in the directory /usr/src/linux-<version_number>/drivers/char/speakup/. I didn't compiled speakup into the kernel myself but use modprobe to activate it (Debian Squeeze with kernel 3.0.0). Is there a method to do the key mapping anyway? I tried to install the extra package speakup-tools but I got the following error message: [ 8119.984075] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation [ 8120.000189] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -115 What does this mean?
