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. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
