OK, I wanted to get back to this topic since I was never able to resolve this.
How do I make "dtk-punctuation-mode", "dtk-caps", "emacspeak-sounds-current-theme" settings and others stick?
No matter what I tried, they just do not want to persist. Next time I restart Emacspeak, I am back to the defaults.
I am running the latest from Github but this has been going on for quite a while now.
Thoughts?

Thanks!
Victor

Hi Victor,
Ouch. As far as I understand, and testing similar things on my end, what you’re experiencing isn’t how it’s going to be. Can you try launching Emacs with the -Q switch and just loading emacspeak using -l switch, and try it in that Emacs instance?
Thanks.

Thanks, Param!
That did not make any difference, unfortunately. The variables still evaluate to "true" and "all" respectively. :)

Hi Victor,
Strange, also, that using the universal argument doesn't toggle the variables in other buffers. Can you open a new buffer after you toggle, and use m-: to check the variable value?

Thanks Parham!
This does not work for me, unfortunately.
Will scan the manual once again to see if I missed anything. :)

Hi Victor,
These variables are defined as local variables, meaning that if you're setting them with setq, the default value (which is the value assigned to the variable when you open a new buffer) isn't set.
To change the default value in your init file, you'd need to use `setq-default'. The syntax is like `setq', but it works with local variables. You can look it up in the elisp info pages for the caveats.
Good luck!

Hi.
This is probably a simple question, but I am not able to make the dtk-caps and dtk-punctuation-mode variables "stick" and persist across sessions after setting them in my initialization file.
In fact, even if I set them interactively in one buffer with the "universal prefix" , they will get reset in other buffers.
I am probably missing something obvious here, but what?

Thanks for any pointers!
Best.
Victor
