I personally *don't* like this idea, it  appears to be trying to make a gui kind of
thing out of speakup. If you want something like this there is already a
speakupconfig utility up on the linux-speakup ftp site, and it could be
updated/rewritten for the new version. While new features in speakup are
great, I fear that it may become too bloated if all these suggestions
are implemented. Please please don't ever make me press
insert+alt+ctrl+shift+anything! Two keys, okay, three maybe, but this is
a command line, large numbers of key combos seem rather a cluge. Just my
$0.02. *looking for flame retardant underware*
