Greetings, Wouldn't it be possible to make a version of yasr yasr is a lightweight, portable screen reader. It works by opening a shell in a pty and intercepting all user input/output, maintaining a window of what should be on the screen by looking at the codes and text sent to the screen. with the speakup keystrokes? preferably using the keypad (though it might be hard to distinguish in a portable way between keypad keys and their non-keypad equivalents), but at least with the laptop keybindings ? I'd love to be able to run speakup in xterms, for example.... I can imagine it as a compile-time option for yasr, or even as a command-line option or an environment variable.
