8.5.3 Remap One Item At Point ¶
- Move to a representative object and press C-e E to identify what
controls it. Return to the source with q before starting a new action.
- Press C-e H f v to choose a voice for matching items. To tune the named
voice already used there instead, use C-e H f t. Tuning changes that
voice wherever the palette entry is used; remapping changes which voice
a face or item receives. For a shell prompt, you can assign a different
voice to the prompt face or tune the current prompt voice. It need not
have been spoken before you begin.
In the remapping editor, move with n~/~p or arrows. RET on Voice
chooses a voice, Preview original plays the captured item, and Preview
change plays the draft. O~/~P provide the same previews; S stops.
Previewing does not save or retune the named voice. Use C-e H f e for
an exact earcon remap.
- Choose How long: personal persists across Emacs sessions, session lasts
until Emacs exits, and buffer affects only the captured live buffer.
- Review Applies to, Voice, and How long, then Save or w. A face
mapping affects matching uses within its module/mode and lifetime.
Advanced opens the full editor for finer criteria. At the top, q hides
the compact editor and retains its draft. After a voice has been chosen,
C-e H p d resumes it directly in the original editor.
- Return to the source, repeat the action, and press C-e E to confirm
which rule wins.
