>Right, works. Let's keep it this way.

Would you like ASPK_DEL/REP/INS_CHARS to stay on m,comma,period or do you think they should move up to j,k,l and that the ones currently on j,k,l should move to the lower row?

>one which slows down speech navigation autorepeat so that you can actually hear what's going on.

Could you please experiment with these values and let me know which ones work best? The rate for navigating by character, word, and line are separate. Right now they're hard-coded. Look in ktb_translate.c for case BRL_CMD_SPEAK_PREV_CHAR. Starting from there you'll find the three values.

While they're hard-coded for now, being as it's an experiment, I'm not one for leaving it like that. What do you think of making all three of them separate choices in the Speech submenu?

>Besides that, I think we are done here. Thank you.

You're very welcome. The word-nav branch is now gone and the code has been merged into master.
