Hello. What you want is even easier than you think, assuming I
understand what you're asking for. Yasr has the ability to remap all of
its keys using the .yasr.conf file in your home directory. With that file,
and a little study of the keystrokes Speakup uses, you can "clone" the
key mapings of Speakup in Yasr and you don't need to compile a thing.
I did this with my Yasr installation to match the key bindings from
the old DOS screen reader Flipper.
