Re: [Emacspeak] Confused by the speech output I get from Emacs / Emacspeak when using shell



Victor--

Did you recently install anything that might mess with your prompt?

Stuff like oh-my-zsh and similar.  It sounds like your prompt may be
the issue, and you could verify this by changing it to just like $ by 
doing something like this:

export PS1=$

Now, depending how fancy the prompt is, it could have a lot more stuff 
like right aligned things and other stuff that eats up other exported prompt 
variables.  

At least it is something to try...

Prior to the incident, whatever it was, I was able to run terminal applications inside the shell, send input and get output with no problems. However, now I am hearing left-bracketed utterances and only the last character of the shell prompt, e.g. “%” after issuing a command. What’s worse though is that I am not able to successfully send any input to a terminal application. The input gets echoed but is not parsed by the running terminal application.
