It was not about how robotic it is, but about how fast it is.  He
demonstrated it at 3x speed for us, but when he was using it just for
himself, it was 5x.

Ah.  Of course that depends on the keyboard:  on the French (not Canadian
French) keyboard, / is shifted, but * requires right Alt.

I don't understand what the benefit of the alt text "Python" is here.
Presumably if you are reading a document with embedded Python, you are
expected to, and want to, read the Python, just as if you have an (English)
document with embedded Greek, you probably want to read the Greek.

All of these are text that you read, as opposed to images that you look at,
which it makes sense to suppress.  For that matter, I might suppress them
myself, as I am still non-visual even though I now see perfectly, since I
grew up seeing everything as blurred:  seeing is *not* believing for me,
unlike most of the sighted.
