Emacspeak discussion list

[Andrew Leland <aleland AT gmail.com>]

Dear Tim,
Thanks so much for this incredibly generous and robust response. I sincerely 
appreciate the resources and wisdom you’ve shared here. I have been using the 
universal argument to set my various settings per session (C-u C-e C-a, etc), 
and since it seems that leaving a session running for weeks at a time is no 
problem (as I believe TV Raman says is his practice somewhere in the 
documentation), this is hardly an inconvenience, so I’m happy to just follow 
your suggestion and make these changes per session until I become more adept 
at this stuff. 

Also, FWIW, today I decided to try out Emacs in the terminal (iterm on MacOS; 
Emacs -nw) and several annoying quirks immediately resolved themselves. Also, 
mentioning in case this is useful to anyone else, but if I have my braille 
display connected to my Mac, and mute VO speech, using emacspeak in the 
terminal allows me to see whatever lines are at point on the display but then 
I still get the full audio feedback from emacspeak, a lovely combination!

Thanks again for your help, emacspeak has already made a huge difference in 
my (non-technical but decidedly text-heavy) work. 

Warmly,
Andrew
