Emacspeak discussion list

Thanks Robert!

ƒƒƒƒOf course, I've been thinking of these work-arounds. I guess, my assumption stemmed from the expectation that if I set something to "global", then it should stay global.e. I do admit though that my understanding of Emacspeak and Emacs is fairly limited. I was just hoping there is an easy way to set Emacspeak's global variables in my initialization file to start with and then modify as fit, i.e. specific programming modes, etc. :)

Thanks again for engaging with me on this!

Best.

Victor

Tryign to understand exactly what is happening under the covers for
how this works is on my todo list, as the implementation is non-
obvious to me.  That said, there are two ways to fix it. 

1. Create a hook that sets it to what you want in the modes you
want it, you can hang stuff off of like major mode change or
something similar.  This will work for any settings you might
desire to set.

2. Under emacspeak customize, you can control what is said for allcaps
and for caps, if you set them both to be blank, techincally it will
still speak them, but it will just be speaking nothing.
