Hi Allison, I have been reasonably successful using tintin in terminal. I had to play with the VO cursor settings some but here is the configuration I like and have saved as an activity.: Keyboard follows VO cursor: Yes VO follows keyboard cursor: No Insertion point follows VO cursor: Yes VO follows insertion point: no
Basically, I can't find a way to keep VO from interrupting itself when new info hits the screen, but setting up your cursors this way means that you will not lose your place even though new text has been added below the point where your cursor is. Tintin also has a nice scripting ability built in. I have found it helpful to gag blank lines, effectively cutting down on the number of times VO might need to interrupt itself when a new line comes in. The way to gag a blank line in Tintin is: #gag {^$} I have also gagged all kinds of other unnecessary spam and am working on ways to display critical info that are spoken faster. These approaches have made mudding viable for me on the mac, even if it is not quite what things were on the windows side.
