CVS Speakup Observations

[John covici]

Well, what I have been thinking about is the assignment of any key
defined to be a cursoring key.  A cursoring key is defined to be a
key which is used by your speech software and then is passed on to
the application and also used by the application.

Now there may be many things which you want a cursoring key to do.

For instance, your left arrow key generally would execute a function
character after which voices the character where the caret is after
the application has finished processing.  Whereas the backspace key
generally would voice the prior character before which means the
character to the left of the caret, before the key is given to the
application.  There are about 10 or so of these and what I have been
thinking about is allowing -- internal to speakup -- the assignment
of keys to such functions.  Keymaps are no good for this, because
things need to be on a per console basis (unless local keymaps are
part of the new 2.5 stuff?).

I guess you see where I am going with this.
