Hello All,
For those wanting to get the best out of vo with terminal, I've been
doing a bit of experementing and I have found that with settings I'll
describe that I can read from the bottom up without the vo cursor
jumping to the top. It seems though that if you press left arrow
with VO keys, it will jump to the top. So, stay away from left arrow
and you can move up and down. Some times, I find I have to press
enter to read the last line on the screen.
My settings are:
In terminal prefs, set execute the default login shell...
terminal type is vt102.
unchecked open a saved .term file.
in window settings, set cursor to vertical and blink. Under window,
still in window settings, check all the checkboxes or not if you
like. anything I left out, I
-- didn't tamper with. The gui rapper for this is quite powerful and
Things appear to be at least a bit better for me with the setup
described above.
Fun with pine:
I used darwin ports to grab pine and When I set show cursor to on, I
was actually able to use arrows without vo keys and have vo track and
speak. This is exciting for terminal because it provides a glimmer
of what is possible. I was able to go through the configuration list
and the main menu with total accuracy. The only drawback is that if
there is a bit of explanatory text, it is not read so you have to use
the VO cursor to find it So, it's advisable to become familiar with
what's there before trying it this way if you're not familiar with it
all ready. Now, to do some real mail with pine and to play with
configuring lynx.
