Option for typewriter effect when typing within terminal?

Open rogerxx opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I've seen quite a few extravagant typewriting sound emulators using ALSA/Pulse for output, but seemingly bloated in my opinion with high resource usage, rather than using simple PC speaker beep. (eg. bucklespring program, but useless for vision impaired as the sounds are emitted upon press and release, more of a cosmetic feature rather than useful feature.)

Is there any method of providing the beep command the option for emulating a typewriter while typing within terminals?

If I'm not mistaken, the process is relatively simple, detect a keyscan press, play beep. I'm pretty sure the code is almost there using "beep -c -f 750 -D 20 -l 5", just needs to detect a keyscan press.
