Hi, I just did a quick check and this does seem broken. Haven’t had the time to look at the code, but it definitely doesn’t work as expected on MacOS. My suggestion would be to use C-<DOWN> and C-<UP> for now to navigate by paragraph at least, that’s what I usually do. Hopefully someone can take a look in the meantime. > On 31 May 2025, at 19:37, Andrew Leland (via emacspeak Mailing List) <emacspeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Thanks for looking into that for me, Victor.

Do you just navigate by line/sentence/paragraph and review that way? Or do you tend to call speak-rest-of-buffer and then if you find something you want to edit, do an I-search or otherwise page down to get point to the spot you stopped at? Or some other awesome workflow you’d be willing to share? :grin: > > I feel very excited by the prospect of making Emacspeak my daily driver, but this missing functionality is really slowing me down! > > With thanks, > AndrewEmacspeak discussion list -- emacspeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send email to: > emacspeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of: unsubscribe
