Speakup with vim

[Albert Sten-Clanton]

I liked the way Speakup worked with Emacs better than the way it works with
VIM.  I started out using Emacs.  I found the main drawback in Emacs for me
to be the multi-key combinations needed to do a lot of things:  it actually
was easier for me to adjust to Vim's different modes, although forgetting
which one you're in can punch your face good.  Also, I could not seem to
find in Emacs the means of saving word wrap and margin settings I wanted.  I
may be wrong, but my impression is that, like Emacspeak, Emacs itself has
quite the learning curve.

Just my wooden penny's worth.

Thanks, that solves the specific issue. I still wonder if there is more
which can be done to make vim work better, eg. using j and k (I can imagine
they actually are quicker to use than cursor keys when you are used to them)
speakup doesn't speak the new line you navigate to unless the screen is
scrolling.

Is this as good as speech output gets with vim? Might it be worth me giving
emacs (may be with emacspeak) more time?
