First off, Orca+KP_enter is already bound. I especially would like this as well and even entertained trying to implement something like this. I had thoughts of making the orca+s key a three way toggle. Have it rotor through full speech, review only and no speech. At least that sounds good to me. I especially like the review only mode for reviewing things like the terminal without the extra speech. I'm not sure off the top of my head where else this would be that usable but for sure in the terminal. On Sun, May 02, 2010 at 12:07:08AM +0100, Michael Whapples wrote:
Yes I like the idea as well, I frequently find I could do with it. Related to this, speakup has four levels of silencing: * control/shift (or some other key which doesn't do anything), stop speech but let new stuff be spoken. * Numpad enter, silence until next key press at which point return to normal. * numpad0+numpad-enter, silence speech except for review. * Kill speakup temporarily, can't remember the actual key stroke, but very much like orca's orca+s. So my question is, how relevant are the different levels for orca? Actually now looking at my wording of speakup's numpad0+numpad-enter, if orca was only to speak flat review I get the feeling that could be not so good, (may be if orca spoke after other keys, eg. cursor and tab/shift+tab it may be useful) but may be the numpad-enter one would be useful as well.

Something like insert-enter for Orca would be really cool, just start throwing text at the synth when a key is pressed like Speakup.

We have Ctrl and we have Orca+S, but we don't have an intermediate mode that would silence any automated speech but still allow someone to review the screen. For the Speakup users out there, I'm talking about Insert+Enter on the numeric. Whatever that might be bound to, it would be helpful to have. I use it all the time with Speakup, and am frequently frustrated without it in Orca.
