+## Development Philosophy
+
+**Clean code over backward compatibility.** Breaking changes are acceptable in major versions.
+
+- PEP8 compliance (snake_case for all variables/functions/settings)
+- Remove deprecated code completely - no compatibility hacks
+- Trust users to update configs when upgrading
+
+**Exception**: Never break core accessibility (speech output, basic navigation).
+
+## Core Architecture
+
+### Drivers
+- **Screen**: `vcsaDriver` (TTY), `ptyDriver` (terminal emulation)
+- **Input**: `evdevDriver` (evdev), `x11Driver` (X11 terminal mode)
+- **Speech**: `speechdDriver` (speech-dispatcher), `genericDriver` (subprocess)
+- **Sound**: `gstreamerDriver` (GStreamer), `genericDriver` (Sox subprocess)
+- **Remote**: `unixDriver` (Unix sockets), `tcpDriver`
+
+### Command System
+Commands in trigger folders execute automatically:
+- `onKeyInput/`, `onCursorChange/`, `onScreenUpdate/`, `onScreenChanged/`, `onHeartBeat/`
+- Numeric prefixes control priority (lower = higher priority): `15000-char_echo.py`
+- Manual commands in `commands/commands/`
+
+### Core Managers (in `src/fenrirscreenreader/core/`)
+`fenrirManager.py`, `commandManager.py`, `eventManager.py`, `screenManager.py`, `inputManager.py`, `outputManager.py`
+
+### Configuration
+- Main: `config/settings/settings.conf`
+- Keyboards: `config/keyboard/` (desktop.conf, laptop.conf)
+- Sounds: `config/sound/`
+- Punctuation: `config/punctuation/`
+
+## 🚨 CRITICAL: Files to NEVER Modify
+
+**These are timing-critical - only fix critical bugs, never refactor:**
+- `evdevDriver.py` - Input event processing
+- `vcsaDriver.py` - Screen monitoring
+
+Symptoms of breakage: echo changes, input lag, missing screen updates, sync issues.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run from source (requires root)
+cd src/ && sudo ./fenrir -f -d   # foreground with debug
+
+# Validation before commit
+python3 tools/validate_syntax.py --fix
+python3 tools/validate_release.py --quick
+
+# Tests
+pytest tests/
+pytest tests/ --cov=src/fenrirscreenreader --cov-report=html
+```
+
+**Note**: Standard TTY Fenrir blocks - only one instance at a time. `fenrir -x`
+can run multiple foreground X terminal instances. Ask user to run tests that
+need real Fenrir instances or root access.
+
+## Creating Commands
+
+Use `commands/command_template.py` as base. Required methods:
+- `initialize(self, environment)`, `shutdown()`, `run()`, `get_description()`
+
+### Import Pattern (Required)
+Fenrir's command loader doesn't support relative imports:
+```python
+import os, importlib.util
+_base_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'base_file.py')
+_spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("base_module", _base_path)
+_module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(_spec)
+_spec.loader.exec_module(_module)
+BaseClass = _module.BaseClass
+```
+
+### Consolidated Base Classes
+- **Bookmarks**: `bookmark_base.py` - `BookmarkCommand(id, 'read'|'set'|'clear')`
+- **Adjustments**: `adjustment_base.py` - `AdjustmentCommand('speech'|'sound', 'rate'|'pitch'|'volume', 'inc'|'dec')`
+- **VMenu Search**: `vmenu_search_base.py` - `VMenuSearchCommand('a'-'z')`
+
+## VMenu System
+
+Application-specific menus in `vmenu-profiles/KEY/{app}/`:
+- Directories = submenus, `.py` files = actions
+- Activate: `Fenrir+F10`, navigate with arrows, Enter to execute
+
+## Remote Control
+
+Unix socket: `/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock`
+TCP: localhost:22447
+
+```bash
+echo "command say Hello" | socat - UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock
+echo "ls" | socat - UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock
+echo "setting set speech#rate=0.8" | nc localhost 22447
+```
+
+In `fenrir -x`, each instance has a private socket:
+`/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-<pid>.sock`. One instance may also own the standard
+socket. Use `ls`/`list` on the standard socket to discover registered instances
+and their socket paths. Untargeted remote commands use a short cross-process
+claim lock so only one instance handles the same broadcast command; direct
+commands to a private instance socket still run on that instance.
+
+Disable in untrusted environments: `[remote] enable=False`
+
+## Key Implementation Details
+
+- Commands via `command_mod.command()` instantiation
+- Bookmark structure: `env['commandBuffer']['bookMarks'][ID][app]['1'/'2']`
+- VMenu search: `env['runtime']['vmenuManager'].searchEntry(char)`
+
+## Recent Fixes (Reference)
+
+- Enhanced application detection for screen/tmux sessions
+- Table navigation consistency (sound feedback)
+- Blank line detection in 22 command files
+- Character/space review during navigation
+
+## Safe vs Risky Changes
+
+**Safe**: Commands, VMenu profiles, config handling, sound/speech drivers, docs
+
+**Risky (extra testing)**: Core managers, event processing
+
+**Avoid**: evdevDriver, vcsaDriver, timing-critical code

+## Audio Configuration
+
+Both PulseAudio and PipeWire require special configuration to allow console applications running as root (like Fenrir) to route audio to your regular user session. This is normal audio system behavior, not a Fenrir issue.
+
+### Quick Setup - Direct Script Download
+
+For non-Fenrir users or quick setup, download and run these scripts directly:
+
+#### PulseAudio Configuration
+```bash
+# Download the script
+wget https://git.stormux.org/storm/fenrir/raw/branch/master/tools/configure_pulse.sh
+chmod +x configure_pulse.sh
+
+# Run twice: once as user, once as root
+./configure_pulse.sh
+sudo ./configure_pulse.sh
+```
+
+#### PipeWire Configuration  
+```bash
+# Download the script
+wget https://git.stormux.org/storm/fenrir/raw/branch/master/tools/configure_pipewire.sh
+chmod +x configure_pipewire.sh
+
+# Run twice: once as user, once as root
+./configure_pipewire.sh
+sudo ./configure_pipewire.sh

+
+### Using Installed Scripts
+
+If you have Fenrir installed, the scripts are available at:
+
+**PulseAudio:**
+```bash
+/usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh
+sudo /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh

+sudo /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pipewire.sh
+```
+
+**Note:** These scripts work for any console application that needs root audio access, not just Fenrir.

+#### Instance Discovery
+```bash
+# List registered Fenrir instances and their socket paths
+echo "ls" | socat - UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock
+```
+
+In X terminal mode (`fenrir -x`), multiple Fenrir instances can run at the same
+time. Each instance has a private socket, and one instance may also own the
+standard control socket. Use `ls` or `command ls` on the standard socket to find
+the private socket for a specific instance. Commands sent to the standard socket
+are handled by its owner when possible; otherwise they are forwarded to a
+registered private socket, preferring the sender's Fenrir ancestor when one can
+be found. Untargeted commands sent through a shared or broadcast path are
+claimed by one instance so duplicate instances do not all perform the same
+action.

+## Table Navigation
+
+Fenrir includes advanced table navigation capabilities for working with tabular data in terminal applications, CSV files, and formatted text output.
+
+### Entering Table Mode
+
+Table mode is activated through the **toggle_highlight_tracking** command, which cycles through three focus modes:
+
+1. **Highlight tracking mode** (default) - Follows text highlighting
+2. **Cursor tracking mode** - Follows text cursor movement
+3. **Table mode** - Enables table navigation
+
+**Key bindings:**
+- **Desktop layout**: `Fenrir + Keypad *` (asterisk)
+- **Laptop layout**: `Fenrir + Y`
+
+Press the key combination repeatedly to cycle through modes until you hear "table mode enabled".
+
+### Table Navigation Commands
+
+#### Column Navigation (Desktop Layout)
+- **Next column**: `Keypad 6` - Move to next table column
+- **Previous column**: `Keypad 4` - Move to previous table column
+- **First column**: `Fenrir + Keypad 4` - Jump to first column of current row
+- **Last column**: `Fenrir + Keypad 6` - Jump to last column of current row
+
+#### Column Navigation (Laptop Layout)
+- **Next column**: `Fenrir + L` - Move to next table column
+- **Previous column**: `Fenrir + J` - Move to previous table column
+- **First column**: `Fenrir + Shift + J` - Jump to first column of current row
+- **Last column**: `Fenrir + Shift + L` - Jump to last column of current row
+
+#### Cell Character Navigation
+- **First character in cell**: `Fenrir + Keypad 1` (desktop) or `Fenrir + Ctrl + J` (laptop)
+- **Last character in cell**: `Fenrir + Keypad 3` (desktop) or `Fenrir + Ctrl + L` (laptop)
+
+### Setting Column Headers
+
+For better navigation experience, you can set column headers:
+
+1. **Navigate to header row**: Use normal navigation to reach the row containing column headers
+2. **Set headers**: Press `Fenrir + X` to mark the current line as the header row
+3. **Navigation feedback**: Column headers will be announced along with cell content
+
+### Table Detection
+
+Fenrir automatically detects table structures using multiple strategies:
+- **Delimited text**: CSV, pipe-separated (`|`), semicolon-separated (`;`), tab-separated
+- **Aligned columns**: Space-aligned columns (2+ spaces between columns)
+- **Flexible parsing**: Handles various table formats commonly found in terminal applications
+
+### Table Mode Features
+
+- **Cell-by-cell navigation**: Navigate through table cells with precise positioning
+- **Column header support**: Set and announce column headers for better context
+- **Boundary feedback**: Audio cues when reaching start/end of rows
+- **Empty cell handling**: Blank cells are announced as "blank"
+- **Independent tracking**: Table position is maintained independently of cursor movement
+
+### Speech Output in Table Mode
+
+When navigating in table mode, Fenrir announces:
+- **Cell content** followed by **column header/name**
+- **Boundary notifications**: "end of line", "start of line"
+- **Position indicators**: "first character in cell [column name]"
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# Working with CSV data
+cat data.csv
+Name,Age,City
+Alice,30,New York
+Bob,25,Los Angeles
+
+# 1. Press Fenrir + Keypad * until "table mode enabled"
+# 2. Navigate to "Name,Age,City" line
+# 3. Press Fenrir + X to set headers
+# 4. Use Keypad 4/6 to navigate between columns
+# 5. Each cell will be announced with its column header
+```
+
+## Progress Bar Monitoring
+
+Fenrir provides intelligent progress bar detection and audio feedback for various progress indicators commonly found in terminal applications.
+
+### Enabling Progress Monitoring
+
+**Command**: `progress_bar_monitor` (no default key binding - assign manually)
+
+To enable progress monitoring:
+1. Add a key binding in your keyboard layout file
+2. Or use the remote control system: `echo "command progress_bar_monitor" | socat - UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock`
+
+### Progress Detection Patterns
+
+Fenrir automatically detects various progress indicator formats:
+
+#### 1. Percentage Progress
+```
+Download: 45%
+Processing: 67.5%
+Installing: 100%
+```
+
+#### 2. Fraction Progress
+```
+Files: 15/100
+Progress: 3 of 10
+Step 7/15
+```
+
+#### 3. Progress Bars
+```
+[####      ] 40%
+[====>     ] 50%
+[**********] 100%
+```
+
+#### 4. Activity Indicators
+```
+Loading...
+Processing...
+Working...
+Installing...
+Downloading...
+Compiling...
+Building...
+```
+
+### Audio Feedback
+
+#### Progress Tones
+- **Ascending tones**: 400Hz to 1200Hz frequency range
+- **Percentage mapping**: 0% = 400Hz, 100% = 1200Hz
+- **Smooth progression**: Frequency increases proportionally with progress
+
+#### Activity Indicators
+- **Steady beep**: 800Hz tone every 2 seconds for ongoing activity
+- **Non-intrusive**: Beeps don't interrupt speech or other audio
+
+### Progress Monitoring Features
+
+- **Automatic detection**: No manual configuration required
+- **Multiple format support**: Handles various progress indicator styles
+- **Prompt awareness**: Automatically pauses when command prompts are detected
+- **Non-blocking**: Progress tones don't interrupt speech or other functionality
+- **Configurable**: Can be enabled/disabled as needed
+
+Fenrir detects stable progress structures rather than application-specific
+status formats. Application-specific formats change too frequently to support
+reliably.
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Enable progress monitoring
+echo "command progress_bar_monitor" | socat - UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock
+
+# Common scenarios where progress monitoring is useful:
+wget https://example.com/large-file.zip    # Download progress
+tar -xvf archive.tar.gz                    # Extraction progress
+make -j4                                   # Compilation progress
+pacman -S package                          # Package installation
+rsync -av source/ destination/             # File synchronization
+```
+
+### Customization
+
+Progress monitoring can be configured through settings:
+- **Default enabled**: Set `progress_monitoring=True` in sound section
+- **Sound integration**: Works with all sound drivers (sox, gstreamer)
+- **Remote control**: Enable/disable through remote commands

+### X11 Terminal Mode
+
+`fenrir -x` runs Fenrir inside a GUI terminal without root. It uses the PTY screen driver for terminal contents and the X11 input driver for Fenrir keybindings. Unlike evdev mode, it does not listen to the whole desktop; key grabs are scoped to the target terminal window so desktop screen readers can keep their own global bindings outside that terminal.
+
+By default, Fenrir targets the X11 window from `WINDOWID`, falling back to the active X11 window. If a terminal does not set `WINDOWID`, pass the window explicitly with `--x11-window-id`.
+
+X11 terminal mode uses the normal keyboard layout files, including desktop and laptop bindings. It supports Fenrir keys such as numpad Insert/`KEY_KP0`, CapsLock/`KEY_CAPSLOCK`, Insert/`KEY_INSERT`, and Super/Windows/`KEY_META`. Script keys such as Compose use `KEY_COMPOSE`.
+
+In this mode Fenrir runs as a regular user. Settings are loaded from
+`~/.local/share/stormux/fenrirscreenreader/settings/settings.conf` when present,
+otherwise from `/etc/fenrirscreenreader/settings/settings.conf`; saving settings
+creates or updates the user-local file. User sound themes and scripts are read
+first from `~/.local/stormux/fenrir/sounds/` and `~/.local/stormux/fenrir/`.
+
+This mode requires `python-xlib`.
+
+For users who want a dedicated PTY/terminal screen reader instead of Fenrir's Linux console focus, see TDSR: https://github.com/tspivey/tdsr

+# Fenrir Release Validation Checklist
+
+This checklist ensures thorough validation before releasing Fenrir packages.
+
+## 🔧 Setup Tools (One-time setup)
+
+### Install Pre-commit Hook
+```bash
+# Safely install composite hook (preserves existing version management)
+./tools/install_validation_hook.sh
+
+# Test the hook
+./.git/hooks/pre-commit
+```
+
+### Validation Scripts
+- `tools/validate_syntax.py` - Python syntax validation
+- `tools/validate_pep8.py` - PEP8 compliance checking with safe auto-fix
+- `tools/validate_release.py` - Comprehensive release validation  
+- `tools/cleanup_cache.py` - Remove Python cache files and directories
+- `tools/pre-commit-hook` - Git pre-commit validation
+
+## 📋 Pre-Release Checklist
+
+### 1. Code Quality Validation ✅
+```bash
+# Comprehensive release validation (includes syntax, imports, structure)
+python3 tools/validate_release.py
+
+# If issues found, try auto-fix
+python3 tools/validate_release.py --fix
+
+# Quick validation (skips slow dependency checks)
+python3 tools/validate_release.py --quick
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: All tests pass, no syntax errors
+
+### 2. Dependency Validation ✅
+```bash
+# Validate all dependencies are available
+python3 check-dependencies.py
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: All required dependencies reported as available
+
+### 3. Core Functionality Test ✅
+```bash
+# Test core imports (safe to run without sudo)
+cd src
+python3 -c "
+import fenrirscreenreader.core.fenrirManager
+import fenrirscreenreader.core.commandManager
+import fenrirscreenreader.core.eventManager
+print('Core imports successful')
+"
+cd ..
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: No import errors
+
+### 4. Installation Script Validation ✅
+```bash
+# Validate setup.py syntax
+python3 -m py_compile setup.py
+
+# Check setup.py can be parsed
+python3 setup.py --help-commands >/dev/null
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: No syntax errors, setup.py functional
+
+### 5. Configuration Validation ✅
+```bash
+# Verify config files exist and are parseable
+ls -la config/settings/settings.conf
+ls -la config/keyboard/desktop.conf
+ls -la config/punctuation/default.conf
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: All core config files present
+
+### 6. Manual Testing (User/Package Maintainer) ⚠️
+
+**Important**: These require user interaction as they need sudo access or specific hardware.
+
+```bash
+# Test basic functionality (ask user to run)
+sudo ./src/fenrir --help
+
+# Test version output
+./src/fenrir --version
+
+# Quick console functionality test (3-5 seconds, ask user to run on a TTY)
+sudo timeout 5 ./src/fenrir -f || echo "Timeout reached (expected)"
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: No immediate crashes, basic help/version output works
+
+### 7. Package-Specific Validation ✅
+```bash
+# Test the same compilation process used by package managers
+python3 -m compileall src/fenrirscreenreader/ -q
+
+# Verify no __pycache__ permission issues
+find src/ -name "*.pyc" -delete
+find src/ -name "__pycache__" -delete
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: Clean compilation, no permission errors
+
+## 🚨 Known Issue Categories
+
+### Critical Issues (Block Release)
+- **Python syntax errors** (SyntaxError, unterminated strings)
+- **Missing core dependencies** (dbus-python, evdev, etc.)
+- **Import failures in core modules** (fenrirManager, commandManager)
+- **Missing critical config files** (settings.conf, desktop.conf)
+
+### Warning Issues (Address if Possible)
+- **PEP8 violations** (cosmetic, don't block release)
+- **Missing optional dependencies** (for specific features)
+- **Command structure issues** (missing methods in command files)
+- **Very long lines** (>120 characters)
+
+## 🔍 Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Why These Errors Weren't Caught Previously
+
+1. **No automated syntax validation** - The codebase relied on manual testing
+2. **No pre-commit hooks** - Syntax errors could be committed
+3. **No CI/CD pipeline** - Package compilation happens only during release
+4. **Manual PEP8 cleanup** - F-string refactoring introduced syntax errors during batch cleanup
+
+## 📖 Usage Instructions
+
+### For Developers
+```bash
+# Before committing changes
+git add .
+git commit  # Pre-commit hook will run automatically
+
+# Before creating tags/releases
+python3 tools/validate_release.py
+```
+
+### For Package Maintainers
+```bash
+# Before packaging
+python3 tools/validate_release.py
+
+# If validation fails
+python3 tools/validate_release.py --fix
+
+# Quick check (if dependencies are known good)
+python3 tools/validate_release.py --quick
+```
+
+### For Release Managers
+```bash
+# Complete validation before tagging
+python3 tools/validate_release.py
+
+# Manual verification (requires sudo)
+sudo ./src/fenrir --version
+
+# Tag release only after all validations pass
+git tag -a v2.x.x -m "Release v2.x.x"
+```
+
+## 🎯 Future Improvements
+
+### Recommended Additions
+1. **GitHub Actions CI/CD** - Automated validation on every push
+2. **Automated testing** - Unit tests for core functionality  
+3. **Integration testing** - Test driver interactions
+4. **Package testing** - Validate actual package installation
+
+### Modern Python Packaging
+- Consider migrating to `pyproject.toml` (PEP 621)
+- Use `build` instead of `setup.py` directly
+- Add `tox.ini` for multi-environment testing
+
+## 📞 Support
+
+If validation fails and auto-fix doesn't resolve issues:
+
+1. **Check the specific error messages** in validation output
+2. **Review recent commits** that might have introduced issues
+3. **Run individual validation steps** to isolate problems
+
+Remember: **Working code is better than perfect code** - especially for accessibility software where reliability is critical.

+# Diff Review Mode
+
+Diff review mode provides read-only navigation for unified and classic diff files with speech-first output.
+
+## Quick Workflow
+
+1. Copy the full absolute path of a diff file to the Fenrir clipboard.
+2. Press `Fenrir + Ctrl + D` to toggle diff mode on.
+3. Review the diff using the keys below.
+4. Press `Esc` to leave diff mode.
+
+If the clipboard does not contain a full absolute file path, Fenrir announces an error and does not enter diff mode.
+
+## Keys (Active Only In Diff Mode)
+
+- `h` - Next hunk
+- `Shift + h` - Previous hunk
+- `f` - Next file section
+- `Shift + f` - Previous file section
+- `a` - Next added line
+- `Shift + a` - Previous added line
+- `d` - Next removed line
+- `Shift + d` - Previous removed line
+- `Up` - Previous line
+- `Down` - Next line
+- `Left` - Previous character
+- `Right` - Next character
+- `Ctrl + Left` - Previous word
+- `Ctrl + Right` - Next word
+- `s` - Diff summary
+- `F1` - Speak key help
+- `Esc` - Exit diff mode
+
+## Speech Behavior
+
+- Added and removed content is spoken as `Added:` and `Removed:` lines.
+- Marker-only lines are normalized for speech:
+  - `+++` is spoken as `added`
+  - `---` is spoken as `removed`
+- Classic diff markers are spoken in plain language:
+  - `17c17` -> `line 17 changed`
+  - `17d16` -> `line 17 deleted`
+  - `16a17` -> `line 17 added`
+
+## Notes
+
+- Diff mode is read-only and does not modify the diff file.
+- Normal Fenrir key bindings are restored when diff mode exits.

 ### Basic Usage with socat
 
+#### Instance Discovery
+```bash
+# List registered Fenrir instances and their socket paths
+echo "ls" | socat - UNIX-CLIENT:/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-daemon.sock
+```
+
+In X terminal mode (`fenrir -x`), multiple Fenrir instances can run at the same
+time. Each instance has a private socket at `/tmp/fenrirscreenreader-<pid>.sock`,
+and one instance may also own the standard control socket. Use `ls` or
+`command ls` on the standard socket to find the private socket for a specific
+instance. Commands sent to the standard socket are handled by its owner when
+possible; otherwise they are forwarded to a registered private socket,
+preferring the sender's Fenrir ancestor when one can be found.

 ## Advanced Features
 
+### Table Navigation Mode
+
+Fenrir includes advanced table navigation capabilities for working with tabular data in terminal applications, CSV files, and formatted text output.
+
+#### Entering Table Mode
+1. Press `Fenrir + Keypad *` (desktop) or `Fenrir + Y` (laptop)
+2. Cycle through: Highlight tracking → Cursor tracking → Table mode
+3. Listen for "table mode enabled" announcement
+
+#### Table Navigation Commands
+- **Column navigation**: `Keypad 4/6` - Move between columns
+- **Row boundaries**: `Fenrir + Keypad 4/6` - Jump to first/last column
+- **Cell characters**: `Fenrir + Keypad 1/3` - First/last character in cell
+- **Set headers**: `Fenrir + X` - Mark current line as column headers
+
+#### Table Features
+- **Automatic detection**: Supports CSV, pipe-separated, space-aligned columns
+- **Column headers**: Set and announce headers for better context
+- **Boundary feedback**: Audio cues when reaching row boundaries
+- **Cell-by-cell navigation**: Precise positioning within tables
+
+### Progress Bar Monitoring
+
+Fenrir automatically detects and provides audio feedback for progress indicators.
+
+#### Progress Detection
+- **Percentage**: 45%, 67.5%, 100%
+- **Fractions**: 15/100, 3 of 10, Step 7/15
+- **Progress bars**: [####    ], [====>   ]
+- **Activity indicators**: Loading..., Processing...
+
+#### Audio Feedback
+- **Progress tones**: Ascending 400Hz-1200Hz frequency range
+- **Activity beeps**: 800Hz tone every 2 seconds
+- **Non-intrusive**: Doesn't interrupt speech or other audio
+
+#### Usage
+- **Enable**: Use `progress_bar_monitor` command (assign key binding)
+- **Automatic**: Works with downloads, compilations, installations
+- **Remote control**: Enable via socket commands
+
+Fenrir detects stable progress structures rather than application-specific
+status formats, which change too frequently to support reliably.

+The default baud rate is `9600`. `doubletalkDriver` targets
+DoubleTalk LT-style serial devices, not the internal DoubleTalk PC ISA card.
+The `dectalkUsbDriver` autodetects the native Access Solutions DECtalk USB and
+ignores both serial settings. It requires PyUSB and a libusb backend. From a
+source checkout, install them with
+`python3 -m pip install '.[dectalk_usb]'`. A non-root Fenrir process also needs
+a local udev rule granting its account read/write access to USB ID
+`0dd0:2001`; do not make the device world-writable. USB TripleTalk devices work

+### X11 Terminal Mode
+
+Use `fenrir -x` to run Fenrir in an X11 terminal as a normal user:
+
+```bash
+fenrir -x
+```
+
+This mode uses PTY screen monitoring and X11 keyboard input. It is intended for GUI terminals such as xterm and VTE-based terminals, while keeping Fenrir key handling scoped to that terminal window. Desktop screen readers keep their global bindings outside the focused terminal.
+
+Fenrir normally detects the target terminal from `WINDOWID` or the active X11 window. If needed, pass a window id explicitly:
+
+```bash
+fenrir -x --x11-window-id 0x123456
+```
+
+X11 terminal mode uses the same keyboard layout files as TTY Fenrir. Supported Fenrir keys include numpad Insert/`KEY_KP0`, CapsLock/`KEY_CAPSLOCK`, Insert/`KEY_INSERT`, and Super/Windows/`KEY_META`. Compose script keys are exposed as `KEY_COMPOSE`.

+In this mode Fenrir runs as a regular user. Settings are loaded from `~/.local/share/stormux/fenrirscreenreader/settings/settings.conf` when present, otherwise from `/etc/fenrirscreenreader/settings/settings.conf`; saving settings creates or updates the user-local file. User sound themes and scripts are read first from `~/.local/stormux/fenrir/sounds/` and `~/.local/stormux/fenrir/`.
