Boon with Emacspeak

[prater-devin]

hello, I'm a user that's just come across your package today. I use Emacspeak to use Emacs, since I'm blind. I tried out your package, and I and O worked fine to read lines, but K and L for characters didn't read characters that Emacspeak passes, as it usually does when using C-b and C-f. Is there any way that these tools can be made to work together?

I am not a user of emacspeak. I am a bit puzzled by your report. The I and O keys are bound to boon-specific commands, but K and L are bound to the usual forward- and backward-char. So I'd say the fault lies with emacspeak. You could try to unbind C-b and C-f and see if this has any effect.

Oh, I'm sorry, K, L, I, and O all work. It was J and ; that don't work. Aditionall, pressing "v" doesn't announce that insert-mode has been entered, and escape doesn't announce that command-mode has been entered. I'll continue the tutorial and write any other observations.

• U and P do not speak when moving to the beginning and end of the line.
• "I" and "O" do speak the paragraph they move to, which is good.
• Using digit arguments, like "3i" speak the line that is landed on, which is good.
• "<" speaks the top line of the buffer when moved to, which is good. ">" works too.
• "n" doesn't speak where I've ended up. Using "i" and "o" helps though.
• "x" works.
• When using "d" for delete, Emacspeak says "take 0".
• When using "q" for quoting characters, Emacspeak says "executing the command bound to 'y'". This is a bit too verbose.
• When using "D" to copy, Emacspeak says "Treasure 0".
• When using "f" for fetch, Emacspeak says "If spaces are wrong, run boon-splice again.".

I hope this helps a little at least.
