I cannot see this. You can bind whatever key you want as fenrir key. It sound more like an wrong setup i bet to an old python-evdev  version.

This is fixed fore some weeks now since i bring fenrir to an event based and multiprocess  structure.

Fenrir does use speech-dispacher  as default but did not use the defaults of speech-dispacher. It has its own settings to tell speech-dispacher  what TTS needs to be used. But when running  pulse and speech-dispacher  it needs some special setup to configure speech-dispacher  for root (as what fenrir is running )pulse to forewart the sound to the user.

Hm speechd-el, sure i dont stop someone to use a software that got about 10 commits in seven years or try to create a good new maintained one. Sure it has bugs but without knowledge  of them i cannot fix it. Or we come to the conclusion we dont need another screenreader  and i will better spent my sparetime at the bar ;).
