Description bill.haneman 2005-02-03 16:44:32 UTC 
The current key handling architecture is cumbersome and constrained heavily by
the underlying key event model in AT-SPI, which is in turn limited by X
(XGrabKey, in particular).

Better keyboard handling requires that all keys be interceptable without
side-effects, which requires XEvIE.  When this extension becomes more widely
available, we should revise gnopernicus' key handling to interrupt speech
whenever a user key event is received.

Note that 166064 (WONTFIX) would be addressed by this change.
Comment 2 remus draica 2005-02-05 11:01:45 UTC 
This require is already addressed by bug #163793.
