In the manual the default config file is /usr/local/share/yasr/yasr.conf, but on debian it's in /etc/yasr/yasr.conf . I'll try to devise some useable mapping (has no-one done it before?) and then make it available. The main problems are that speakup uses 1) some keys (like caps-lock in laptop-mode) which don't by themselves emit any character (but keypad-insert emits \e[2~ !), 2) and some keys (like keypad+ and keypadEnter) which emit the same character as their non-keypad equivalents, but it should be possible to choose some mixture of laptop keys and keypad keys which does a reasonable job... Thank you Brian for giving me the right clue.
