When editing code (xml, lisp or whatever) each time a key is pressed and some indication about current statement is available (well I suppose so) this information is displayed in the echo area. For instance if you type (defun in a lisp buffer a message concernning defun syntax and properties will be displayed in the echo area and it will be done repeatedly each time you press a key provided point is inside the defun statement. This feature might surely be very useful to recall you information about the code you are writing but if you use it in conjunction with a vocal system like speechd-el it makes to much noise ! So I'd like to disable this feature or at least to be able to enable it only when I want. But I was not able to discover which variable(s) controls this behavior. So can please someone tell me which variable should be customized. Regards Pierre
