Re: Emacspeak for windows



Do you have (setq w32-use-visible-system-caret t) in your .emacs?  Just

I would probably stick to latest stable version of Emacspeak for this project and not mess with latest git builds. windows is bad enough as it is without introducing possible stability issues with a git build.

I realize the speech interface for windows is completely different from the linux side for speech. But the rest of Emacspeak is elisp files so not sure if much else would need customizing for windows or not.

Oh and that also applies to c-f and c-b keys so it’s not specific keystrokes that don’t work; it is the cursor movement some how.
