	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.
