Commentary: Contains various wizards for the Emacspeak desktop.
Automatically generated documentation for commands defined in module emacspeak-wizards.
Add annotation to the annotation working buffer. Prompt for annotation buffer if not already set. Interactive prefix arg `reset' prompts for the annotation buffer even if one is already set. Annotation is entered in a temporary buffer and the annotation is inserted into the working buffer when complete.
control e control c
Copy contents of the region to the emacspeak clipboard. Previous contents of the clipboard will be overwritten. The Emacspeak clipboard is a convenient way of sharing information between independent Emacspeak sessions running on the same or different machines. Do not use this for sharing information within an Emacs session –Emacs' register commands are far more efficient and light-weight. Optional interactive prefix arg results in Emacspeak prompting for the clipboard file to use. Argument START and END specifies region. Optional argument PROMPT specifies whether we prompt for the name of a clipboard file.
control e control y
Yank contents of the Emacspeak clipboard at point. The Emacspeak clipboard is a convenient way of sharing information between independent Emacspeak sessions running on the same or different machines. Do not use this for sharing information within an Emacs session –Emacs' register commands are far more efficient and light-weight. Optional interactive prefix arg pastes from the emacspeak table clipboard instead.
control e meta c
Copy file visited in current buffer to new location. Prompts for the new location and preserves modification time when copying. If location is a directory, the file is copied to that directory under its current name ; if location names a file in an existing directory, the specified name is used. Asks for confirmation if the copy will result in an existing file being overwritten.
Create a customization buffer for browsing and updating personal customizations.

control e control h
Helps you learn the keys. You can press keys and hear what they do. To leave, press C-g.
control e meta l
Link (hard link) file visited in current buffer to new location. Prompts for the new location and preserves modification time when linking. If location is a directory, the file is copied to that directory under its current name ; if location names a file in an existing directory, the specified name is used. Signals an error if target already exists.
<control right>

control e control r

control e <control right>
Select this buffer as displayed in a `next' frame. See documentation for command `emacspeak-select-this-buffer-other-window-display' for the meaning of `next'.
Switch to this buffer as displayed in a different frame. Emacs allows you to display the same buffer in multiple windows or frames. These different windows can display different portions of the buffer. This is equivalent to leaving a book open at places at once. This command allows you to move to the places where you have left the book open. The number used to invoke this command specifies which of the displays you wish to select. Typically you will have two or at most three such displays open. The current display is 0, the next is 1, and so on. Optional argument ARG specifies the display to select.
control e <control left>
Select this buffer as displayed in a `previous' window. See documentation for command `emacspeak-select-this-buffer-other-window-display' for the meaning of `previous'.
control e meta v

control e meta p
Show value of PROPERTY at point. If optional arg property is not supplied, read it interactively. Provides completion based on properties that are of interest. If no property is set, show a message and exit.
<shift> <up>

<shift> <down>
Move forward across blank lines. The line under point is then spoken. Signals end of buffer.
control e cap H

control h cap M <f1> cap M <help> cap M
Pop up messages buffer. If it is already selected then hide it and try to restore previous window configuration.
control e !
Invoke shell COMMAND and display its output as a table. The results are placed in a buffer in Emacspeak's table browsing mode. Optional interactive prefix arg as-root runs the command as root (not yet implemented). Use this for running shell commands that produce tabulated output. This command should be used for shell commands that produce tabulated output that works with Emacspeak's table recognizer. Verify this first by running the command in a shell and executing command `emacspeak-table-display-table-in-region' normally bound to C-e TAB.
control e cap I
Shows all active network interfaces in the echo area. With interactive prefix argument ADDRESS it prompts for a specific interface and shows its address. The address is also copied to the kill ring for convenient yanking.
Convenience command to view state of memory used in this session so far.

control e <right>
Speak this buffer as displayed in a `previous' window. See documentation for command `emacspeak-speak-this-buffer-other-window-display' for the meaning of `next'.
control e /
Speak this buffer as displayed in a different frame. Emacs allows you to display the same buffer in multiple windows or frames. These different windows can display different portions of the buffer. This is equivalent to leaving a book open at places at once. This command allows you to listen to the places where you have left the book open. The number used to invoke this command specifies which of the displays you wish to speak. Typically you will have two or at most three such displays open. The current display is 0, the next is 1, and so on. Optional argument ARG specifies the display to speak.
control e <aleft>
Speak this buffer as displayed in a `previous' window. See documentation for command `emacspeak-speak-this-buffer-other-window-display' for the meaning of `previous'.
Switch to most recently used interesting buffer.
control e meta s
Link (symbolic link) file visited in current buffer to new location. Prompts for the new location and preserves modification time when linking. If location is a directory, the file is copied to that directory under its current name ; if location names a file in an existing directory, the specified name is used. Signals an error if target already exists.
control e cap D

control e cap N
