fenrir/TODO v2.0

ToDo list for Fenrir Version 2.0 
Things with not so deep knowledge needed are marekd wiht "(Easy for contribution)". so just start with that :).

General:  
- implement onScreenUpdate commands
  read highlighted text mode
- try to make it more asynchronus with multpible threads
- be more event based (vcsa sets POLLPRI)
  http://scotdoyle.com/python-epoll-howto.html
  Needed events:
  screen update (vcsa sets POLLPRI)
  plug input device (udev event)
  screen changed (logind event, collides with screen update)
  keyboard input (select, wait forever)
  braille input (brlapi_readKey)
  braille flush (timer, sleep)
  Each event is watched in an own thread. This improves performance and reduce the load.
  The event loop is to be done as "queue" since those are thread safe.  
  The threads are reading incomming data and add the events and data to the queue
  the mainloop just reads the queue in an blocking way and executes the needed codepath with the data.
- leave review on typing (Prototype "charmapTTY" in play zone)

- implement commands
  Tutorial Mode: navigate through a list of bound commands. speak binding and description.
  attributes_curr_char (Easy for contribution)

- generic list (convert clipboard management) (Easy for contribution)
    next item
    pref item
    curr item
    first item
    last item
  
Braille Support:
  brailleFocusMode:
    - manual = no automatic toggle command used
    - last = follow last used cursor
  print cursor in review
  print cursor in textmode
  word wrapping (if word does not fit print it at next page)
  command toggle used cursor (in manual brailleFocusMode)  
  capture input from braile
  make routing keys assignable by keyboard
  make brailleTable configurable
  pkg-config --variable=tablesdir liblouis
    returns on Arch:/usr/share/liblouis/tables

Driver:
- implement PTY Screen driver (to use gnome-terminal and other terminal emulators)
  https://docs.python.org/3.2/library/pty.html
- implement PTY Input driver  
- ATK input driver (don't grab on graphical interface)
- try to autodetect encoding (Easy for contribution)
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6396659/how-do-you-get-the-encoding-of-the-terminal-from-within-a-python-script

Settings:
- configuration should be overwritable with parameter and alternative paths (Easy for contribution)
- write settings (Easy for contribution)
- menue for settings configuration (Easy for contribution)

Application Profiles
- reimplement process detection without subprocessing // this is started by chrys
- fenrir is not able to detect the current application inside of screen.
    ps -e  -H -o pid,pgrp,ppid,tty,cmd
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24861351/how-to-detect-if-python-script-is-being-run-as-a-background-process/24862213
    fd = os.open("/dev/tty5", os.O_RDONLY )
    os.tcgetpgrp(fd)
- add perApplicationTrigger trigger
    per application commands
    per application onScreenChange
    per application onInput
- per application shortcuts

-----------DONE----------------
- Add nice dummy drivers as template or for debugging
- reimplement detection code for X11
- initial translate structure (manuelcortez Thanks!)  
  http://www.supernifty.org/blog/2011/09/16/python-localization-made-easy/
- add a configurable place where you can place own commands or overwrite existing commands without need to change default code
- implement autodetection of plugged and unplugged input devices (python-pyudev) for evdev driver

- implement speechdriver generic (Easy for contribution)
