Effortless editing with Speakup

Well, the fact is that editing isn't so smooth. What I do is to just
turn off the cursor tracking, since in my opinion, it does more harm
then good at times, and just hit numpad-2 for say character every time
I move. For example, right-arrow, numpad-2, right-arrow, numpad-2, and
so on. I know it may sound combersum, but I got used to it after a
while. I hear tell that cursor tracking has been improved in cvs
speakup, but I'm still using 1.5 here, so someone else will have to
comment on that.
