Fwd: Keyboard Access (T.V.Raman 1)

[Nick Roberts <nick@nick.uklinux.net>]

I am forwarding two e-mails that T V Raman sent as part of a
thread but which never seemed to make it to emacs-devel. As
well as specific questions about gdb-ui.el, he has general
things to ask and say about keyboard access (in the context 
of emacspeak).

Thanks --I'll wait on the display aspects of GDB.
The reason I started walking the surces was because the documentation
in the info file was pretty exclusively about mouse clicks when it
came to the array slice bits.

Incidentally given that mouse events are nothing more than list
structures, would it be possible to create a
keyboard-generate-mouse-event function?

Would be a nice means to exploit some of the newer features of emacs
 ---as an example, balloon help in itself may not be 
directly useful to the emacspeak user --- you really dont want emacs
intrrupting what you're listening to and tell you things --makes it
too much like the dreaded office-clip from idiot-proven interfaces. On
the other hand it would be nice to ask for a tooltip.

So I might move through a source file --- and push a key to hear the
value of an identifier spoken to me.

Thoughts?
