Thank you very much for the code. I will take a look there.

Hello Manuel: You certainly do cursor control with python no
problem. It is a tad fiddly until you get the basics set up to do it
as part of your screen updates but it works just fine with speakup
without having to revert to highlight tracking or anything like that.
Here is a web browser we wrote which we don't support any longer
because firefox has moved away from supporting anything other than
javascript but it works just fine with ff up to version 42 I believe.
git clone http://bmcginty.us/clifox.git
Here is another full text browser which we also don't support any
longer but for the sake of examples you can certainly look through the
code to see how it was done. The same way as clifox actually. We
morphed wb into clifox on many levels.
git clone http://linux-speakup.org/wb.git
I hope these are useful examples.

Hi,
Thank you all for your replies. I have tried the same code using
libcurses in C and it works properly, however for python I have to
switch to highlights tracking in speakup to do the job. So I think
I'll use the C library for making the menus and call stuff from that,
or try to look a way for changing this preference in speakup every
time I'd need it.
Btw, I think the function for changing the cursor mode is the
curs_set(int); (0=invisible, 1=normal mode, 2=high visibility mode).

One would have to go through its documentation to find how to code
it, but look at curses-based programs like lynx which has the
--show-cursor option.

How can curses be told not to lock the cursor?

Subject: Re: A few questions about speakup
Hi,
curses by default locks the cursor in one spot on the screen.
Pressing the button second from right in the top row of the
numeric pad, switches the cursor tracking of speakup.
curses can be told not to lock the cursor.
I am sure you can use python, as I think it is simply, at the end
of the
day,
use the default curses library on your system.
I am not running the latest speakup, so might be out of date here,
but utf-8 does not work when you use cut and paste, although they
appear correct on the screen.

hello everyone,
I just decided to subscribe to this list for talking about
speakup. I have been using it some years ago for accessing to the
Linux console (my main environment was gnome, though). Now I'd
like to ask you a few questions, because I am trying to use only
the console and speakup is a very important part of my learning
curve.
1. I have been noticing that there are some programs that are
pretty accessible with Speakup, others that require some
modifications (config files or speakup modifications) to improve
their accessibility with the screen reader, but I'd like to know
how much accessible are ncurses based interfaces with speakup?
for a small project I am trying to do, I have to create a few
menus and some other widgets in the console, so I've decided to
use the python programming language and the curses module already
included. But for a strange reason, all of the examples >
that I have found don't work properly with speakup, and I am not sure
exactly why. I couldn't find any documentation regarding to this.
Do i >
have to do something for improving the curses accessibility from
Python?
Do I need to use another programming language?
2. English is not my first language, so I've installed the
speakup-tools package and tried to look for a translation in my
language (Spanish) but it is not created yet. So basically I've
downloaded the repository at
http://linux-speakup.org/speakup-tools.git and started to work in
a few improvements and a spanish translation for the speakup
messages. Seems >
it's working properly. I also have changed the speakup_setlocale
script
(I have not added this modification to the script located in the
repository, yet) so it list all directories in @pkgdatadir, looks
for a file called languagename in every directory and shows a
menu with all available languages. If called with -l you can set
the language code directly. Is it possible to send changes
upstream somewhere?
3. I am learning russian, and I've noticed that there isn not a
russian translation for speakup, it would be OK if we could
create a translation for this language? More specifically, do you
think speakup will not have issues with the russian characters
and their encoding? (I assume it would be UTF-8, but I'd need to
test).
thank you in advance for your work in the Linux community.
Best Regards,
Manuel.
