Combabulate, Selection And Speking

[tvraman]

Just a quick note to say that narrowing down what current means with respect to /moving an object/ is likely to match what current means with respect to what should be spoken. Hope you can make those access functions easy to use from outside combabulate, AKA emacspeak

Hi TV. Can you give me some examples and your preferred before/after?

I'm reworking a lot of the innards right now, so now is a good time to nip that in the bud.

Will need to look through the code in your project in a bit more detail before I can type up a rational before/after -- not sure when. But at a ghigh-level: 1. You navigate. 2. If the navigation is intuitively correct, the object that Emacs selects is the object that your eye "selects". 3. When that happens, I would like to have a function that I can call to ask "what object is that that was focused" 4. Then I can speak the object from the relevant advice fragment.

Aha. I think I understand.

especially attractive is you coming up with a sort of DSL for describing some of this, at least that's what I took away from your blog article. --
