Thanks. Checked it again. Both Ctrl-A, and A keystrokes cause narrator to read. At least on my computer. Checked the sources. I think it's because in source file gretl_8c_source (or gretl.c). The catch_mdata_key reads: /* keystrokes recognized in the main gretl window */ static gint catch_mdata_key (GtkWidget *w, GdkEventKey *key, windata_t <http://gretl.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.9.5-2/struct__windata__t.h... *vwin) { GdkModifierType mods = widget_get_pointer_mask(w); int k = key->keyval; if (k == GDK_h || k == GDK_F1) { ... #if defined(HAVE_FLITE) || defined(G_OS_WIN32) if (!(mods & GDK_MOD1_MASK)) { if (k == GDK_a) { audio_render_window(vwin, AUDIO_LISTBOX); return TRUE; } else if (k == GDK_x) { stop_talking(); return TRUE; } }#endif The GDK_A check seems to not distinguish between Ctrl-A and A. A check to see if Ctrl is down would do it I guess. Best regards, Bulent Erdemir On Sat, Mar 31, 2012 at 4:13 PM, Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt; wrote:
