Hi Stefan:
At this point for the error/signal/user-error feedback -- i
believe command-error-funciton should meet my needs except for
backward compatibility -- some help in knowing how to use it
correctly would help.
Re your suggestion re calling backtrace within the advice, tried
that -- and though I'm hearing the spurious feedback under X in
Info -- but not at the terminal -- the backtrace is not
invoked. This leads me to suspect a subtle bug in advice itself
-- Here are the advice fragments I have for error, user-error and
signal.
(defcustom emacspeak-speak-errors t
"Specifies if error messages are cued."
:type 'boolean
:group 'emacspeak-speak)
(defadvice error (before emacspeak pre act comp)
"Speak the error message.
Also produces an auditory icon if possible."
(when emacspeak-speak-errors
(let ((emacspeak-speak-signals nil)
(emacspeak-speak-errors nil)
(dtk-stop-immediately nil))
(emacspeak-auditory-icon 'warn-user)
(tts-with-punctuations 'all
(dtk-speak
(apply #'format (ad-get-arg 0)(ad-get-args 1))))))
t)
(defadvice user-error (before emacspeak pre act comp)
"Speak the error message."
(when emacspeak-speak-errors
(let ((emacspeak-speak-signals nil)
(emacspeak-speak-errors nil)
(dtk-stop-immediately nil))
(tts-with-punctuations 'all
(dtk-speak
(apply #'format (ad-get-arg 0)(ad-get-args 1))))))
t)
;;;###autoload
(defcustom emacspeak-speak-signals t
"Specifies if signalled messages are cued."
:type 'boolean
:group 'emacspeak-speak)
(defadvice signal (before emacspeak pre act compile)
"Speak the signalled message."
(when emacspeak-speak-signals
(let ((msg (first (ad-get-arg 1))))
(when (and msg (> (length msg) 0))
(tts-with-punctuations 'all (dtk-speak msg))))))
