caplock disappeared

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi Chuck et al,

	As of Wednesday, May 21/03, david Borowski introduced my laptop keymap into the cvs version of speakup. The only ostensible change is the kidnapping of the Caps_Lock key for speakup use. However by using the capslock key with selected qwerty-keys, you no longer need the numeric-keypad.

	There soon will be a  /proc filesystem method to handle keymaps.

	Meanwhile, (and if you like it, you can continue to use it) the traditional speakup keymap is integrated with my laptop keymap. This integration provides full control of speakup using only the qwerty keys without the numeric keypad. On a 104-key keyboard you have two methods of controlling speakup: qwerty-keys with the Caps_Lock key and the traditional speakup numpad keys.

	To toggle the caps_lock function, hold down the shift key and press the caps_lock key, in that order. There currently is a bug wherein the control and alt keys act the same as the shift key when pressed before pressing the capslock key. However, if you press the capslock key, then the control or alt key and a qwerty-key, you will get the desired speakup functionality as documented.

More details are in the file:

	ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/linux/goodies/README-cvs-keymap

which will be updated fre	quently to try to keep abreast of changes in cvs.

HTH,
