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.
clean up the code for the events so that just the correct codepath is used:
- screen
- input
- new device
- 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)

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
http://sqizit.bartletts.id.au/2011/02/14/pseudo-terminals-in-python/
https://blog.konpat.me/pythons-pseudo-terminal-pty-examples/
- implement PTY Input driver
- ATK input driver (don't grab on graphical interface)
https://git.linux-a11y.org/AIT/pyatspi2/src/master/examples/keypress.py
- Dectalk SpeechDriver
https://github.com/tvraman/emacspeak/blob/master/servers/obsolete/python/dectalk.py
Settings:
- 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----------------
- initial working setup.py
- leave review on typing
- add dependency check (check-dependencys.py)
- 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)
- try to autodetect encoding (Easy for contribution) (Prototype "charmapTTY" in play zone)

Braille Support:
initial BrlTTY driver
detect device size via driver
output to braille device
make flushMode configurable
make flushTimeout configurable
flush message after X seconds and show current line (review over text)
tweak current commands and output
command flush_braille
command for scroll left
command for scroll right
create offset for scrolling
respect scrolling
make cursor following configurable (brailleCursorTrackingMode)
- cell
- page
follow cursor while typing
brailleFocusMode:
- review = priority to review
Settings:
