Re: speakup laptop keyboard question

Hi Jude,

To use the "toggle cursoring" function, if your contact has (or can attach to
the computer) a keyboard with a numeric keypad, this is asterisk or '*' on the
keypad. Else (laptop without a numeric keypad) that would be press and hold the
"speakup key" usually Ctrl and press 8.

At least that's what I read in the file speakupmap.map here in
/usr/src/linux-6.12.8/drivers/accessibility/speakup/speakupmap.map

Cheers,
Didier

PS quote from spkguide.txt below

You may select among the various forms of cursor tracking using the keypad
asterisk key.
Each time you press this key, a new mode is selected, and Speakup speaks
the name of the new mode.  The names for the four possible states of cursor
tracking are: "cursoring on", "highlight tracking", "read window",
and "cursoring off."  The keypad asterisk key moves through the list of
modes in a circular fashion.uide.txt:
