[Emacspeak] Re: Switching the C-e prefix key to another binding

[T.V Raman <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Command  emacspeak-keymap-choose-new-emacspeak-prefix
was part of Emacspeak starting from the mid-90's until about 2020 --
when I nuked it because I hadn't used it in over 20 years.

You can find it in git --- use Magit to advantage and search for that
function with git log. Or grab emacspeak-52 and find it in
emacspeak-keymap.el.


You can read about the command and how it worked here:
