Subject: how to get zsh to work with a screen reader
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 14:37:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <26940.1437503861@ccs.covici.com> (raw)
Hi. Well, this is going to be a peculiar question, but I hope someone
on here can give me a hint. I use speakup which is in the staging area
of the kernel as a screen reader because I am "visually impaired". Now
when I use zsh, I hear the entire line repeated when I do a completion,
or after I type a carriage return, I hear the line I just typed, even
though there is not an extra copy on the screen. So what I was
wondering, is if zsh is writing the whole line out under many conditions
-- whereas bash is not doing that. I am willing to change the code if
necessary, because I want to keep using zsh, but this problem is very
annoying. When the lines are repeated, it repeats the prompt and the
whole command line, so if I am doing a completion and its a long file
name, you can see where this could get old very fast. So, any
suggestions as to how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
