Re: [orca-list] changing shells?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I would have to do a bit of researc if I don't have a copy of my old rc file for zsh, but I think what you 
are talking about can be turned off. You can 
for example tweak or disable, (or maybe it's backwards, i.e. not enabled by default), a feature that reports 
on how long it takes a  process to 
comoplete. I think  there may be something simlar that reports on CPu usage for commands/processes. 
Anyway, one of the cool things about zsh is that  you can see some meta data like this automatically if you 
want to, but it is not something you have to 
have displayed.
This is pretty OT for here as there is no orca issue involved, and honestly I've almost never even run zsh in 
a terminal. The same issues effect us when 
using speakup in VT-consoles of course. 
If you can't get this sorted out and relly want to use zsh for some reason I'll try and help, but if you look 
at a couple of zsh configuration tutorials 
and or zsh documentation I think you will find what you need. 
Zsh allows for a right side prompt besides the standard left hand prompt, and all kinds of extra information 
can be displayed in this 2nd, (extra) 
prompt). I have never wanted the right side prompt myself, but perhaps for some this feature can be used 
comfortably/practically  with speech.    
like with other things, one user's useful data can be another user's distraction.
