[Emacspeak] Confused by the speech output I get from Emacs / Emacspeak when using shell



1. Rob is likely right re special  chars in your prompt.

   2. Emacs shell mode has *never* worked  with "terminal apps" AKA
      full-screen console apps -- Victor, if I didn't know that you
      were an not an LLM, I'd say you were "hallucinating":-) However
      since I know that you are not (at least not yet an LLM), here is
      a bit more terminology:

      A. full-screen apps, ie those that use terminal addressing,
         include vi, emacs lynx etc; none of which will work in shell
         mode.

         B. Most shell-level command-line utils dont need
            cursor-addressing and *will* work in shell mode.

            C. To handle special chars such as highlighting, you need
               ansi-color-mode in shell buffers, emacspeak does this
               in emacspeak-comint.el

Prior to the incident, whatever it was, I was able to run terminal applications inside the shell, send input and get output with no problems. However, now I am hearing left-bracketed utterances and only the last character of the shell prompt, e.g. “%” after issuing a command. What’s worse though is that I am not able to successfully send any input to a terminal application. The input gets echoed but is not parsed by the running terminal application.
