Allow script users to tie actions to current events

[frastlin]

Hello, Would it be possible to allow users to tie actions like speak current line, speak next line and or speak last line to events that happen in Notepad++? This would allow the user to customize what NVDA says for any event. I could see this working two ways:

1. reading the events from Sentilla (This would make actions on events work no matter what keystroke is used)
2. Happen after a specific keystroke like ctrl+d.

Thanks,

[frastlin]

This would fix: https://github.com/derekriemer/nvda-notepadPlusPlus/issues/4 and https://github.com/derekriemer/nvda-notepadPlusPlus/issues/1

I don't quite follow. Do you mind elaborating a bit?

It would go in the NVDA preferences dialogue where the line length setting currently is. Basically it would say something like: on delete line : speak current line on move to previous paragraph : speak current line On jump to matching brace : speak previous line, speak current line, speak next line

There would be an add button, modify button and delete button. in the add dialogue there would be an event like: on delete current line on exit document on move to top of file on move to bottom of file and all the events at: http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Keyboard_And_Mouse_Shortcuts

Then there would be a list of NVDA actions to happen after the Notepad++ action like: speak current line speak next line speak previous line speak document title speak window title Speak custom message ...

One can then chain NVDA actions together, putting several actions for one Notepad++ event. Does that make more sense?

I'm not an expert on Scintilla, but I don't think it fires any events. Therefore the only way we can detect changes is either via hooking to keystrokes or analysing text changes.

It might fire event_caret, I'm not sure.

Actually, this is the relm of a plugin. I think in order to receive events, we'd need to be able to be part of the wndProc of notepad++, and that can't be done from NVDA. We could communicate the data between the plugin and NVDA though. I don't have time to work on this at this moment, but if anyone wants to give it a stab, go ahead.
