Greetings, I'd like to have # pronounced as "hash", or even as "comment", instead of as "number"; but when I edit $ cd /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/ $ vi characters even as root, I get: "/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/characters" E667: Fsync failed followed by lots of scary kernel messages like: Apr 16 14:50:50 box8 kernel: [ 977.007098] updated 18 of 20 character descriptions with 2 rejects Apr 16 14:50:50 box8 kernel: [ 977.007114] character descriptions reset to defaults even though file identifies it as a text file, and it's world-writeable: $ file characters characters: ASCII C program text $ ls -l characters -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4096 Apr 16 14:50 characters Is there a way for me to get "#" pronounced as "hash" ? and preferably configurable during run-time, since mostly I might be editing a perl script, but sometimes a form full of account numbers and membership numbers ?
