fenrir/TODO

ToDos in Priority order:

- Known Bugs  
  Fenrir key sometimes wents crazy? (maybe this is if fenrir key is released before other keys)
  gstreamer sounddriver doesnt work (i think it needs a Glib 
  alpine seems to have problems (just small glitches) (southernprince)
  For example, in screen, it just tells me bell in window, but doesn't tell me which one. (southernprince)
  punctuation none currently not working (southernprince)
  in special cases next word skipps a word, this seems to happen with some whitespaces before the first word (storm_dragon)
  spellcheck triggers twice if there are two spaces after an word and you arrow over them
  fix portia's trace (file portiatrace.txt)

-------------DONE--------------------------------
- move from VCS to VCSA and parese the Attributes

- implement speechdriver espeak
https://github.com/relsi/python-espeak

- detect collumns in TTYs automaticaly. 
it seems we have this info in vcsa

- get current cursor
- shortcut handling

0=down, 1=press, 2=hold
2KEY_SHIFT, 1KEY_A = say_current_line_cursor
- implement command structure
- implement speechdriver speechd

- autodetect current TTY maybe with (PAM or a sys folder)
cat /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0/active 
http://serverfault.com/questions/306854/how-to-find-out-the-currently-active-linux-virtual-terminal-while-connected-via

- Input

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12384772/how-can-i-capture-mouseevents-and-keyevents-using-python-in-background-on-linux
maybe TTY in RAW MODE

- Settings (make it configureable)
- improve differ speed
- lock mechanism for threads
- restructure loops to listen for events
  inputloop -> does block with an select
  commands -> a new thread should spawned from inputloop
  updatescreen -> maybe we could watch it with inotify vsca should support polling COMMENT: sadly not possible, poll events not fired as expected
  https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/wiki/Tutorial
<Example Code>
import pyinotify
import glob
class Identity(pyinotify.ProcessEvent):
    def process_default(self, event):
        p = event.pathname
        print(p)

wm = pyinotify.WatchManager()

notifier = pyinotify.Notifier(wm, default_proc_fun=Identity(), timeout=5)
wm.add_watch('/sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty0/active', pyinotify.IN_CLOSE_WRITE)
for file in list(glob.glob('/dev/vcsa[0-64]')):
    wm.add_watch(file, pyinotify.IN_CLOSE_WRITE)
    print(file)

try:
    while 1:
        notifier.process_events()
        if notifier.check_events( timeout=1000):
            notifier.read_events()
            print('events')
        else:
            print('timeout')
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    notifier.stop()
    print('fin')
