You're close. Now I do remember it, but I forgot about it.

>Could you analyse and say if it's complicated to implement or not, or even 
>say if it's making any sense or not?

Yes, it makes sense and is possible. I don't use speech at all so speech ideas 
need to be explained to me as I don't always intuitively understand them. In 
braille I achieve the equivalent functionality by "go to previous prompt" and 
then reading downward.

Since brltty reviews the screen content passively, the difficult part will 
likely be to get it to understand the difference between just moving the cursor 
downward (like you might do within an editor) versus writing new characters 
which, as a side-effect, moves the cursor down (as is the case when a command 
is invoked). I'll think about it.
