[BRLTTY] speech-dispatcher and brltty

[Sérgio Neves]

Hi,
I don't know if it has logic or if it's feasible to implement this on 
brltty, but I'd like to suggest:
Imagine the following situation:
1. I'm on bash shell and type ls or other command.
2. Internally, brltty simulates a function, which moves the cursor to the 
line after the bash prompt (where output of the command starts), and this 
line is the "current line" (it would be internal to brltty and I would not 
see anything changed on my braille display).
3. brltty invokes automatically the function to
speak from "simulated current line" through bottom of screen.

Is it possible to implement this functionality?

I think the problem is if an output is larger than the lines that fit on the 
screen. In this case, brltty would only read one screen, but I think it's 
better than nothing, lol.

This could be another brltty preference, which appears only when autospeak 
preference is enabled.



Thanks



Best regards



Sérgio Neves

Add dot 3 to the combination if you want dot 7 turned on, and add dot 6 for 
dot
8.

I don't know much about Speech Dispatcher itself. Brltty does feed it all 
the
characters soA SD will speak whatever it's configured to speak.

I imagine brltty users switch between programming and reading so it might be
worth being able to control that from the preferences menu.

Yes, brltty has that. There's currently no BrailleNote binding for it, 
though.
