SPEAKUPCONF(1)
β¨ SPEAKUPCONF π User Commands
okay bestie, so you know how speakup has a whole bunch of settings you can tweak and customise? π And you know how it's so annoying to redo them all by hand? Yeah. That's literally what this little script is for. It's called speakupconf and it saves and loads all the vars in speakup. Iconic behaviour, no notes. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
speakupconf save|load
That's it. Two words. Pick one. Slay. π
π DESCRIPTION π
Speakupconf is a script that saves and restores speakup's customizable variables. β¨ Save them once, get them back whenever. It's giving backup-and-restore but make it accessible tech.
Now here's the part where you need to pay attention, bestie, because who you are changes where your stuff goes π¦:
- If it is run as root, it saves in
/etc/speakupπ - If it is run as a user, it saves in
$HOME/.speakupπ
And the reason that's actually amazing? It means that each user can have unique speakup settings. π Not sharing. Not fighting over the config. Your settings, your vibe, your own little folder. Periodt. π«Ά
