One of the problems that I have been facing during my Emacs usage is with buffers that are displayed when Emacs is asking me to enter some very specific characters (y, n, SPC). For example, using a disabled command invokes `disabled-command-function'. This command wouldn't let me try to navigate to the buffer displaying the message about the disabled command because this command expects some very specific keys to be pressed. Another example is the `org-agenda` command which refuses to accept anything other than the displayed options. I would like to jump to the buffer that displays the text and go through the contents of the buffer one line at a time. Is there already something in Emacspeak that would help me? Best regards,

Thank you for raising the feature request with emacs-devel. The solution with `recursive-edit` has been working well so far. This is a bit unrelated to the issue but what does this " ♇ Id: kg:/m/0285kf1 🦮" text mean? It is at the end of your last email.

Have filed a feature request on emacs-devel; in the meantime, your fix to bind recursive-edit to C-z in special-event-map is not a bad solution --- please continue using it and report back if it creates any unforeseen problems. > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Narendra Joshi <narendraj9(a)gmail.com&gt; > Date: Sat, Dec 11, 2021 at 4:37 PM > Subject: Query about speech output when command uses `read-event `/ > `read-char*` > To: <emacspeak(a)emacspeak.org&gt; > > Hi folks, > > I am new to Emacspeak in general and I am still getting myself > familiar > with what is available.
