Re: [orca-list] Emacs and Orca again



But certain things don't work, or work improperly.  Sometimes Orca reads
much too much text, and the read all definitely does not work.  Are you
seeing any of those?

I spent some time recently with trying to run emacs in a gnome
terminal and came across the -nw switch.  Isn't that a viable solution
for what people are seeking? I use emacs -nw from mutt now and if I'm
using mutt in a gnome terminal, replying to a message works fine and
no Orca hangs.

I know that the issue of Emacs and Orca not working nicely together has come
up in the past.

The solution I have found is to use the non GTK version of emacs.  I'm using emacs22 in Intrepid, but I 
think it should be the same with emacs23. 
The non-gtk version of emacs22 is called emacs22-x, and is in package emacs22.  You may need to install 
emacs22 if you only have emacs22-gtk 
installed.  You can just run emacs22-x, or use update-alternatives to make it the default:
sudo update-alternatives --config emacs22
choose the option for /usr/bin/emacs22-x.

Hope this help.

Robbie
