Hi Greg, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner... If you want to alter the keymap permanently, it is a bigger challenge. You'll have to edit the keymap first, then recompile the kernel with the speakup patches applied, including the modified keymap. Or, if you're using speakup as a module, just recompile the module with the modified keymap. The keymap contains the numeric keycodes for every key on your keyboard. It's been a few years since I worked on it, so I would have to spend some time in getting up to speed on it again. I think some things have been changed since then too, so it's an interesting endeavor. Have fun! --terry On Sun, May 26, 2013 at 08:12:04PM -0700, Gregory Nowak wrote: > On Sun, May 26, 2013 at 08:43:52PM -0400, Terry D.
