Various issues found in Sound Split feature description in the User Guide and in the GUI: The User Guide does not explain the difference between "Sound split disabled" mode and "NVDA in both channels and applications in both channels" mode. In the User Guide, the default option is called "Disabled sound split", but "Sound split disabled" in the GUI. In the User Guide, the description of the way to restore the sound in both channels after a crash is not always correct, especially now that the "disabled" option does not modify audio processing at all. The GUI warning when unchecking the Disabled mode is not correct since there are various other possible modes with speech in both channels (among them the new "NVDA both and app both"). The removal of this warning had been discussed and approved in Sound split nvaccess#16071 (comment) but never completed. Description of user facing changes User Guide updated for 3 first items. Warning removed from the GUI

@seanbudd

Following @seanbudd's suggestion in nvaccess#16591 making classes and functions private. The rationale is that we would like to refactor sound split code so that more code is going to be reused in application volume adjuster, but nvaccess#16591 will have to be postponed to v2024.3. So we need to make sound split API private to avoid breaking API changes.

…y in NVDA using Python (nvaccess#16214) Several years ago Microsoft added a low-level API in Windows to allow the caller to execute multiple actions in a UI Automation remote provider via only one cross-process call. Limiting the amount of cross-process calls is necessary for providing a responsive experience, especially for interacting with applications hosted in Windows Defender Application Guard (WDAG) or as a Remote Application Integrated Locally (RAIL). There are also scenarios such as searching for / listing headings in large documents, which can bennifit from limiting cross-process calls, even when the application is running on the local machine. the Windows.UI.UIAutomation.Core.CoreAutomationRemoteOperation is a winRT interface that allows the caller to specify the actions as a string of byte code representing a specific set of instructions for a conceptual virtual machine which is executed within the remote provider. The instructions allow you to manipulate UI Automation elements, patterns and text ranges, as well as perform basic logic and collect information using ints, floats, strings, GUIDs and arrays created within the conceptual virtual machine. Although these instructions are well-defined, public documentation is limited and programming with these raw instructions can be slow and complicated to read. Microsoft released the Microsoft-UI-UIAutomation Remote Operations Library which provides some higher level ways of building and executing these instructions, including intermediate winRT interfaces, and high-level pure c++/winRT interfaces. NV Access has made many prototypes with this library, and has made significant contributions to that project over the years. Today, NVDA includes this library as a depedency, and currently uses it to access the new UI Automation Custom Extensions feature, which is required to access certain information in Microsoft Word. In theory, NVDA could make a much greater uuse of UI automation Remote Operations to improve performance across many parts of Windows and other applications. However, there are several issues with the Microsoft UI Automation Remote Operations Library which slow down or limit greater usage in NVDA, including: All remote operations logic must be written in C++ and not Python. This creates a large learning curve, if not a quite uncomfortable context switch at very least. the Remote Operations Library seems to be no longer maintained by Microsoft. The Remote Operations Library currently contributes an extra massive 16 minutes to NvDA's build time, as it must compile the whole of the C++/winRT API set. Solution This PR introduces a new remote operations library written in pure Python, which wraps the low-level CoreAutomationRemoteOperation winRT interfaces in Windows. This new library replaces the need for the older Microsoft Remote Operations Library, and therefore is no longer a dependency. I had several initial goals in mind with this new library: To support our current usage of remote operations (namely UI Automation custom extensions: isExtension and CallExtension). If I could not achieve our current requirements, there would be no point continuing. To make a significant performance improvement to at least one extra action or scenario in NvDA (E.g. quick navigation by heading in Microsoft Word). This would prove that implementation of a fix / feature was easier with the new library, and would make it worth spending the initial time on it. I was able to achieve both of these goals. Description of user facing changes In browse mode in Microsoft Word with UIA enabled, quick nav to headings, and listing headings in Elements list, is now up to 30 times faster. E.g. Jumping to a heading at the bottom of a 160 page document all the way from the top previously took ~4 seconds, now it takes ~0.13 seconds. Description of development approach A new UIAHandler._remoteOps package has been added, which interfaces with the low-level Windows Remote Operations API, providing higher-level APIs and types to aide in building and executing easy to read remote algorithms. See The NVDA remote operations readme for explanations and example code for all features. UIAHandler.remote's msWord_getCustomAttributeValue has been re-written to use the new NVDA remote operations library. Some extra functions were added to UIAHandler.remote, including findFirstHeadingInTextRange and collectAllHeadingsInTextRange, built on the NVDA remote ops library. UIA browse mode makes use of these functions on Windows 11, to majorly speed up jumping to / listing headings.

cary-rowen Contributor cary-rowen commented on Apr 30 • Link to issue number: Closes nvaccess#15484 Summary of the issue: Some dynamically loaded web pages and desktop applications, such as Dism++, only allow scrolling via the hardware mouse wheel to display more content. NVDA can only interact with these through screen review mode. However, to load more items, mouse wheel usage is required. Description of user facing changes This pull request allows users to simulate mouse wheel scrolling through gestures. Added four commands with no gestures assigned: Rotates the mouse wheel up at the current mouse position Rotates the mouse wheel down at the current mouse position Rotates the mouse wheel left at the current mouse position Rotates the mouse wheel right at the current mouse position Description of development approach I created a function within mouseHandler called scrollMouseWheel, which scrolls the mouse wheel either vertically or horizontally, controlling the scroll direction and amount. For more information about mouse events, see WM_MOUSEWHEEL. It's important to note that this function limits the scrolling per execution to winUser.WHEEL_DELTA (120) or less.

Discussion in nvaccess#16655 Summary of the issue: Some paragraphs in the User Guide have inexplicit anchors names such as #toc45. In case they need to be referenced in the future, in the User Guide, in NVDA's GUI (context help) or in an external source, it would be desirable to have a more explicit name. Moreover, the auto-generated anchor names (#tocNNN) have probably changed various times in the past due to the evolution of the structure of the user guide. Until NVDA 2024.1 (included), the base document for the User Guide was the t2t file and these anchors were "floating", depending on the evolution of the document. E.g. the paragraph "Open General settings" has anchor #toc109 in NVDA 2024.1 but #toc110 in NVDA 2024.2beta3. Description of user facing changes Replace auto-generated anchors #tocNNN by explicit anchor names. Description of development approach Commit 8891a1e Renamed the anchors of the "open settings" paragraphs. Note: These paragraphs were added in NVDA 2024.1 but their anchor names differ between 2024.1 and 2024.2beta3 due to changes in the User Guide structure. Commit 9d726d6 Renamed the 4 other anchors that have changed between NVDA 2024.1 and NVDA 2024.2beta3. Note: These anchor names have changed due to changes in the User Guide structure. Commit ce8591f Rename the two remaining anchors whose name has not changed between 2024.1 and 2024.2beta3. Note: These anchors were first present in NVDA 2024.1; before, they were not present since they correspond to level 5 heading (or level 4) which were not listed in the table of contents of the t2t file.

Summary of the issue: When the dev guide was converted to md, generic anchors have been created for headings that had no anchor in the t2t file. Probably needed for the table of contents. However these new anchors have generic names ({#toc123}). It would be better to use more explicit names as done for other already referenced headings. Description of user facing changes None Description of development approach Searched for generic anchors and replaced them with more explicit names.

Now that we are somewhat happy with the current config, we should commit it to the repository rather than rely on the GUI. This means contributors can more easily improve the auto review process such as improving the path prompts and adding learnings.

…ral fixes (nvaccess#16622) Fixes nvaccess#16622 fixes nvaccess#16640 Summary of the issue: It has been discussed that normalization would also be helpful for character navigation. There's also an issue where character descriptions and symbol pronunciation didn't work correctly because normalization took place before symbol processing. Furthermore, for the UnicodeNormalizationOffsetConverter used for braille, it was discovered that diffing didn't turn out to be accurate enough. Description of user facing changes When normalization is enabled, there's an extra option Report normalized when navigating by character in the speech settings. Added global commands foor speech and braille normalization (without assigned gesture) When normalization is enabled, characters will now always be normalized as well. Braille Unicode normalization is more reliable now. Description of development approach Normalization is now always applied to speech, rather than only for object and text info speech. I also changed some helper functions to be able to report normalized when navigating by character. Added a SuppressUnicodeNormalizationCommand that allows you to suppress global normalization within a speech sequence. This command is used when creating a spelling sequence, because spelling has its own normalization logic now. It also ensures that when spelling a character or providing a character description (i.e. NVDA+. double press), normalization does not occur. It can even be used to disable character normalization altogether if necessary. Rewrote UnicodeNormalizationOffsetConverter to use a new function in NVDAHelper local that uses uniscribe to give a list of offsets for character boundaries. This allows us to split a string into glyphs and then apply normalization to every glyph, which results in more reliable offset calculation and less complex code.

This will only notify users if the available update is in the same channel as the installed add-on. There is an "update all" button on the dialog and a list of add-ons with updates available. There is also an "Open Add-on Store" button to open the add-on store to the updatable add-ons tab. A setting to disable this. This is a combobox so that in future users can decide between: notify on updates (default) automatic update (See Ability to automatically update add-ons nvaccess#3208) disabled Description of development approach Created a scheduling module to schedule tasks on NVDA start up, using the schedule pip module. This is so we can have conflict free scheduling. e.g. so NVDA's update notification won't clash with the add-on update notification. Uses their suggested code to run a background thread for task scheduling: schedule.readthedocs.io/en/stable/background-execution.html Changed much of the Add-on Store downloading code to be classmethods. This allows us to use it from the message dialog without creating a store instance.

The minimum supported API version is now 2024.1. This add-on was last tested with 2023.1. You can enable this add-on at your own risk. The concept of API is not clear for everyone and it is not explained in NVDA's GUI, nor in the User Guide. Thus, the logic of this sentence explaining why the add-on is not compatible is not easily understandable. Description of user facing changes Modify the incompatibility reason for too old add-ons as follows: An updated version of this add-on is required. This add-on was last tested with 2023.1. The current version of NVDA requires that the extension be tested with NVDA 2024.1 or higher. You can enable this add-on at your own risk.

…non-empty directories (nvaccess#16686) Fixes nvaccess#16443 Summary of the issue: When creating a portable copy, NVDA overwrites the contents of the folder. This may delete files like dlls. This caused nvaccess#16514 to be reported, as this can be quite destructive and unexpected. Typical behaviour for writing to a directory like this involves creating a new folder to write the contents to. However, portable copies can also be upgraded, so it is important to be able to support writing to existing portable copy directories. Description of user facing changes When creating a portable copy, a new checkbox has been added to create a new folder for the portable copy, which is checked by default. If this box is unchecked, a warning dialog will appear if the directory is non-empty. The directory contains nvda.exe we assume its a portable copy directory, and confirm the user wishes to upgrade the portable copy. The directory is otherwise non-empty, a general warning dialog is opened warning the user that the contents of the folder will be overwritten.

… for a pending caret event. (nvaccess#16711) Summary of the issue: In Firefox's in-progress UIA implementation, moving with the cursor keys in editable text boxes sometimes reports the character at the old position of the caret instead of the new position of the caret. For example, on the line: abcdef with the cursor positioned on "a", pressing right arrow several times might read a, b, c instead of b, c, d. I don't anticipate that NVDA will ever move to using UIA in Firefox. Nevertheless, this is an NVDA bug which might impact other things. Description of user facing changes When navigating with the cursor keys in text boxes in applications which use UI Automation, NVDA no longer sometimes reports the wrong character, word, etc. Description of development approach Previously, EditableText._hasCaretMoved fetched the caret before checking for a pending caret event. It then returned this fetched caret. The following race condition could occur: In NVDA's main thread, NVDA queries the caret. The caret hasn't updated yet in the app, so this is the old position. The app fires a caret event. NVDA receives this caret event on a background UIA thread and queues it. Back in NVDA's main thread, NVDA checks for a pending caret event. That check passes because of 3). NVDA returns the old caret info retrieved in 1). This can't happen with other APIs because they all queue events on the main thread, which can't be preempted during _hasCaretMoved. However, UIA queues events from a background thread.

…ess#16712) Fixes nvaccess#16218 Summary of the issue: NVDA could silently crash when a Braille HID device was disconnected/closed. Description of user facing changes No more crashes under the above conditions.

Closes nvaccess#16266 Summary of the issue: Right now NV access is unable to gauge monthly or weekly users, only daily users. Each day NVDA performs an update check and optionally sends more usage data information. We are unable to differentiate copies performing update checks, meaning we only know X users who checked for an update on a given day. Description of user facing changes None Description of development approach A unique ID is stored to user config when initializing the update check. This creates a unique ID per user of NVDA, counting portable copies and each Windows user's profile of an installation. When checking for update, NVDA now sends the unique ID if usage tracking is enabled.

… WebView2 interface (nvaccess#16717) Closes nvaccess#16705 Summary of the issue: Apps hosting Edge WebView2 show up as websites. However, in apps such as new Outlook (olk.exe), it is desirable to disable browse mode by default or offer custom commands and workarounds. Description of user facing changes NVDA will recognize and work with app modules for apps hosting Edge WebView2 controls such as new Outlook. Description of development approach Similar to wwahost and javaw, a new host app module (msedgewebview2) is created to fetch actual names of aps hosting the webview controls. The module borrows heavily from javaw app module except it is limited to fetching parent process information. Instead of importing appModuleHandler.AppModule, module-level getattr is defined to return the default app module.

(nvaccess#16672) Fixes nvaccess#16573 Summary of the issue: When pasting into the calculator, both speech and braille reported a truncated result (for example 1 instead of 12.34) Description of user facing changes When pasting into the Windows 10/11 calculator, the correct number is announced. Description of development approach While handling UIA notification events, NVDA may announce screen changes not caused by number entry or results commands, and this is what is being handled (pasting from clipboard, for example). NVDA will traverse through result element's children, looking for the actual result. NVDA will announce the element's content once actual result element is identified.

Previously, markdown files were built as an intermittent step between converting text2tags content to HTML. During this period, it was useful for builds to upload their markdown files as AppVeyor artifacts in the builds system. We have now removed the t2t content in favour of a markdown source of truth, meaning that the artifact uploaded should be the same as the contents in the PR. Description of user facing changes Remove userGuide and changes markdown files from build artifacts Description of development approach Remove userGuide and changes markdown files from build artifacts Also removed other deprecated code and updated remaining references to t2t

…nvaccess#16248) Fixed nvaccess#16246 Summary of the issue: Most controls in Visual Studio Code do not support text review commands. The most typical example is when the user wants to review the control name character by character, such as the file name in the file tree and the setting items on the settings page. Based on current experience, this is not easy to achieve. Description of user facing changes Users will be able to review control name in Visual Studio Code by NVDA’s text review commands. Description of development approach In the application module for Visual Studio Code, a modification has been made within the event_NVDAObject_init method to enhance the handling of objects. Specifically, for objects whose role is not EDITABLETEXT , the TextInfo property is now explicitly set to NVDAObjectTextInfo.

…#16738) Fixes nvaccess#16722. Summary of the issue: When a client disconnects from a Remote Desktop session without exiting NVDA on the server, WASAPI can throw ERROR_TOO_MANY_FILES, which is not a WASAPI error code and thus not expected by the C++ code. E_NOTFOUND is also possible, probably thrown by IMMDeviceEnumerator::GetDefaultAudioEndpoint. WasapiWavePlayer.feed raises an exception, which breaks the oneCore driver because it isn't expecting exceptions. Speech is broken henceforth. Description of user facing changes Speech is no longer silent after disconnecting from and reconnecting to a Remote Desktop session. Description of development approach I changed WasapiWavePlayer.feed to log exceptions and return without raising them. I could have tweaked the C++ code to handle ERROR_TOO_MANY_FILES and E_NOTFOUND as well as the codes it already handles (AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_INVALIDATED and AUDCLNT_E_NOT_INITIALIZED). However, I figured it was best to make this code more resilient in general by catching exceptions, especially given that WinmmWavePlayer.feed also catches exceptions.

…longer necessary. (nvaccess#16746) Reverts nvaccess#10707. Summary of the issue: Firefox moved most iframes into different processes (AKA out-of-process iframes or project "Fission") in 2020. This necessitated some changes to NVDA because with Firefox's older multi-process architecture, objects in one process were unaware of objects in another. However, with the new "Cache the World" architecture released in Firefox 113 (just over a year ago in May 2023), this special handling is no longer necessary, since all objects are served from the parent process and the parent process is aware of all of them. While removing this code likely doesn't have any discernible user benefit, I think it's worthwhile to remove unnecessary complexity. There is no supported version of Firefox (even ESR) which depends on this code. Description of user facing changes None. There might be a slight performance benefit, but I doubt this is perceivable. Description of development approach Reverted nvaccess#10707, adjusting for non-substantive changes that were made since nvaccess#10707 was merged (code style, moved constants, etc.). Note that this moves back to using accChild instead of getNVDAObjectFromEvent. At the time, there didn't appear to be a performance benefit to using accChild and using getNVDAObjectFromEvent made it easier to implement nvaccess#10707. However, I have since then discovered (through Firefox profiling) that at least in-process, AccessibleObjectFromWindow can be rather slow relative to direct COM calls. This probably isn't noticeable for NVDA's use case, especially given that we're doing this across processes, but any performance boost is probably worthwhile here. I didn't add a change log entry because there is no user visible change here

… at the end of a line. (nvaccess#16745) Fixes nvaccess#3156. Strictly speaking, that issue covers other problems as well, but this addresses the issue for which it was originally opened. Other issues should be (re)opened for any remaining problems. Summary of the issue: When editing text, there is an insertion point at the end of a line. This is where you are positioned when you press the end key. Firefox also allows you to reach this position with the left/right arrow keys. When text wraps across multiple lines, lines other than the last have this insertion point, but it does not have its own IAccessible2 offset, since it doesn't actually exist in the text. Instead, the caret offset reported is the same offset as the start of the next line. This is problematic for NVDA because when the user is at this position, NVDA reports the character at the start of the next line. Worse, it reports the next word and line instead of the current word and line. Description of user facing changes In Mozilla Firefox, NVDA now correctly reports the current character, word and line when the cursor is at the insertion point at the end of a line. Description of development approach IAccessible2 provides IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET to deal with this. While somewhat awkward, the idea is that you pass this special offset to IAccessibleText functions so that they know you care about the caret and can handle it specially if the caret is at the end of line insertion point. For example, asking for the character at the caret might report (3, 3, None), where 3 is the caret offset. In contrast, if the caret was at the start of the next line, it might report (3, 4, 'c'). Similarly, asking for the line at the caret when at the end of the line might report (0, 3, 'ab ') instead of (3, 6, 'cd ') at the start of the next. Unfortunately, making NVDA use IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET when fetching units is tricky. IA2TextTextInfo would need to keep track of the fact that it was constructed for the caret and pass IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET if so. But this means that when the caret moves, the TextInfo moves too, which breaks detaching the review cursor from the caret, etc. Instead, a flag _isEndOfLineInsertionPoint has been added to MozillaCompoundTextInfo. This is set by querying the character at IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET when constructing with POSITION_CARET. This allows us to implement special behaviour when this is True: we expand to no character, we expand to the current word/line instead of the next word/line, etc. If the TextInfo is copied, this flag is copied too. If the TextInfo is mutated in any way, the flag is set to False. This allows us to represent this position (even across copies) without being attached to the current position of the caret. Some of this could theoretically be done in IA2TextTextInfo, but that would have meant plumbing (and coupling) this special casing through both classes. I'm not aware of any other implementation which supports IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET that doesn't use MozillaCompoundTextInfo. Note that although Chromium supports IA2_TEXT_OFFSET_CARET, it doesn't special case the insertion point at the end of a line. Thus, although this works fine in Chromium, there is no benefit there, though Chromium could choose to implement this to gain that benefit.

Part of nvaccess#12387 Summary of the issue: The NVDA code base uses a mix of CRLF and LF style line endings, with the preference being CRLF. LF style endings have been introduced prior to lint checking, and can causes issues when moving code or making changes. Many IDEs will normalize the line endings when editing files, causing larger than intended diffs of files with mixed line endings. Instead, we should normalize all line endings of text files to LF and ensure that all files are committed with LF line endings. Specific files should be excluded from normalization such as: files used by translators, as we are uncertain of the side-effects here binary files git allows independent configurations between line endings used when a developer checkouts out code locally, and when code is committed to a repository. IDEs are often better suited for different line endings, with LF line endings becoming more and more standardised. However, NVDA is Windows based development, where CRLF line ending usage is commonly default or compulsory. Developers can checkout code locally, using whatever line endings they prefer or their IDE requires, using git config.core autocrlf. We can configure what line endings we commit to the repository with .gitattributes. This is set on a repository level. As what line endings we commit with is agnostic to what is checked out, the decision is based on what works best for the repository. Unix style line endings usage and support continues to increase on Windows and LF files. LF tends to be better supported by Unix style developer tools such as git. LF uses less data than CRLF.

…evious character is a line feed. (nvaccess#16763) Fixup of nvaccess#16745. Summary of the issue: In my work on nvaccess#16745, I neglected to consider an empty line after a line feed. In that case, adjusting for the line end caused NVDA to read from the previous line instead of the empty one. Description of user facing changes In Firefox, NVDA no longer speaks the previous line when the caret is on the last line and the last line is empty. However, this does not need a change log entry because this bug never shipped in release. Description of development approach Don't set the _isInsertionPointAtEndOfLine flag to True if the previous character is a line feed. This prevents the line end adjustment. Because this additional check makes the code a little more complex, I refactored this code into a helper method.

Fixes nvaccess#16735 Summary of the issue: This adds Turkish grade 2 braille table to NVDA interface. Description of user facing changes Users will be able to use the table provided in NVDA Description of development approach Modified the brailleTables.py.

Fixes nvaccess#14817 Summary of the issue: Our linting system has the following issues: we are stuck on an old version of flake8, as the flake8tabs module is no longer being updated we can't perform automatic lint fixes Ruff is becoming more maintained than flake8 Description of user facing changes The entire repository is linted with Ruff, rather than diffs Developers can now automatically fix certain linting issues with runlint.bat If using pre-commit hooks, linting is automatically applied: pre-commit.com/#usage CodeRabbit now scans code using our Ruff config Description of development approach integrate Ruff, migrate flake8 config Update AppVeyor scripts to use ruff add pre commit hook support for ruff update linting docs

Lint the repository with Ruff This is a follow up for nvaccess#16751 Must be merge commit not squash merge Using nvaccess#16751, the following commands were applied: ruff check --fix to apply automatic fixes ruff check --add-noqa to add no-qa comments to all lint failures, so that issues that can't be automatically fixed don't trigger future failures

Start the dev cycle for the 2024.4 release. This won't be a compatibility breaking release.

… doesn't support 2 channels. (nvaccess#16771) Fixes nvaccess#16770. Summary of the issue: WasapiWavePlayer.setVolume assumes that the audio device supports 2 channels. Some devices do not. This causes an exception when trying to set the second channel. Description of user facing changes Playing NVDA sounds no longer fails on a mono audio device. Description of development approach Catch E_INVALIDARG which is the documented error code for this situation. Alternatively, we could check the number of channels before trying to set, but I don't think there's any benefit to that approach and that would require more C++ code. I also removed _wasPlay_errcheck. That was never actually called and was unnecessary because raising an exception for a failure is already handled by setting .restype to HRESULT. Furthermore, _wasPlay_errcheck was raising WindowsError with the wrong parameters, so it wouldn't have been what we wanted even if it had worked.

nvaccess#16753) NVDA is licensed with GPL2 which is incompatible with certain licenses like Apache. Currently there are 2 python dependencies bundled with NVDA with incompatible licenses: fast-diff-match-patch - see Reconsider fast_diff_match_path license violation workaround nvaccess#16633 requests Description of user facing changes Developers can now check licenses with runlicensecheck.bat AppVeyor checks that new dependencies with incompatible licenses aren't introduced Description of development approach Using the licensecheck pip dependency, check licenses Similar to lint checks, run these checks on appveyor builds

…ss#16718) Closes nvaccess#16656 Summary of the issue: NV Access is intending to move most of the wiki into the repository, so changes are tracked better and easier to propose. The documentation for translating NVDA is very dated, particularly since the update of the translation system. Description of user facing changes This wiki page was moved and updated in the project docs Translating the interface The following changes were made to update the contents: grammar and formatting fixes add reference to user guide commands for PoEdit remove section on translating using a text editor added information on: on using Crowdin and proofreader status plural forms pgettext (context/tags)

…ion and normalization is enabled (nvaccess#16786) Fixes nvaccess#16772 Summary of the issue: When reporting of normalized characters is enabled and OneCore is used, it does not pronounce the space that should be part of the speech sequence, so it announces Cnormalized rather than c normalized Description of user facing changes Normalized characters are pronounced correctly, e.g. as C normalized Description of development approach OneCore uses spelling functionality, which adds the character mode command to the speech sequence. This results in a sequence like [CharacterModeCommand(True), "C", CharacterModeCommand(False), " normalized"]. Every distinct string in the sequence is passed through ProcessText, which strips spacing from the left and right of the string. This effectively results in a string of Cnormalized passed to the synthesizer. Therefore, I changed processText to only strip from the right of the string when normalization is enabled. Note that this bug is not related to the normalization code as such, the normalization work just uncovers an existing bug, which is now only fixed in the case of normalization.

…nvaccess#16797) Fixes nvaccess#16689 Summary of the issue: The user can no longer read the Windows Mail message area with the arrow keys. This is due to the fact that this implementation of the MS Word control does not support custom attribute values, but more importantly because code to fetch custom attribute values in NVDA via remote ops is not fail-safe enough. In this case, the remote ops function was raising a NoReturnException as the function was not returning a value on common errors. Description of user facing changes The user can again read messages in Windows Mail. Description of development approach Rewrote the remote ops msWord_getCustomAttributeValue function to be more readable and return early on any error. this avoids deeply nested if statements, and ensures that all code paths return a value. This also required the following extra change: UIA remote ops can now marshal the None object as a RemoteNull object. This None can now be returned from a remote ops function via RemoteAPI.Return.

…ing functionality' (nvaccess#16794) Many threads on NVDA mailing list, the last ones being: NVDA Vocalizer expressive spelling To stop NVDA from spelling when not wanted, uncheck the setting "Use spelling functionality if NVDA 2024-1 and Code Factory Vocaliser pronunciation problem But there are much more of them. Summary of the issue: Code Factory synthesizers (NVDA add-on and SAPI one) are not compatible with "Use spelling functionality" setting. This needs to be documented. It's worth noting that the add-on is being discontinued, so there will never be a compatible version. Description of user facing changes See User Guide. Description of development approach I just mention Code Factory, not Vocalizer nor Eloquence, to avoid confusion with the other Vocalizer synthesizer from Tiflotecnia.

The current documentation for running unit tests is out of date, referring to tools that we no longer use, and commands that no longer work. Description of user facing changes Updated the project documentation to reflect the status quo.

Summary of the issue: Following the recent attempts to uniformize code style with linting, it makes sense to add an .editorconfig file, as this is the format that is widely supported by IDEs out of the box. Visual Studio code insists on sticking to space indentation for new files and sometimes switches from tab to space indentation for Python files. This is fixed with .editorconfig and an editorconfig extension in Visual Studio code. Description of user facing changes Added .editorconfig Description of development approach .editorconfig file according to NVDA's code style.

…ccess#16767) Fix up for nvaccess#16751 Summary of the issue: Ruff recently updated, so we might as well use the latest version. a warning is omitted for the section we added logger-objects to in ruff's config. it was unclear in docs how to avoid pre-commit hooks from triggering. more pre-commit hooks could be added ruff whitespace formating is done through ruff format currently we are only linting with ruff check. We should also run a ruff format on the whole NVDA. ruff was missing scons files, which should also be linted in a mass lint. Summary of other changes: Added pre commit hooks for unit tests and translation comment checks. Added generic pre-commit hooks for python static syntax checking, basic whitespace rules, and file write safety checks change the output of rununittests.bat to have simpler buffer output, only show failures. Ensure the verbose log is logged in AppVeyor. add ruff format to lint checks add scons files to lint checks update coderabbit prompt for change log entry items

Summary of the issue: When opening the speech settings panel, the checkbox "Report 'Normalized' when navigating by character" is enabled, no matter the value of the "Unicode normalization" combo-box. Description of user facing changes When opening the speech settings panel, the checkbox "Report 'Normalized' when navigating by character" will be enabled or disabled (greyed out), depending on the value of the "Unicode normalization" combo-box, as it is already the case when the selection of this combo-box is modified. Description of development approach As done for "Ignore blank lines for line indentation reporting" checkbox in Document formatting settings, explicitly call the .Enable method when the panel is initialized.

…ess#16804) Closes nvaccess#11905 Follow up to nvaccess#16767 Summary of the issue: scons files have a lot of inbuilt functions that the linter doesn't recognize. See also nvaccess#11905 Ruff preserves indent/new-line formatting of function arguments, list items, and similar iterables, if a trailing comma is added. Much of NVDA is missing these trailing commas causing the lint to collapse them. Description of user facing changes Description of development approach A lint rule has been added to ignore F821 errors in scons files. A pre-commit hook is added, which adds a trailing comma to python in case it was missed.

run ruff format to fix whitespace changes Follow up to nvaccess#16767 Closes nvaccess#12261 Summary of the issue: When migrating to ruff in nvaccess#16751, we failed to lint scons files, and also run ruff format on the repository. Ruff format fixes whitespaces issues in python files. Description of user facing changes None Description of development approach Perform lint fixes on scons files and run ruff format.

Follow up to nvaccess#16803 Summary of the issue: Ruff formatting python code in nvaccess#16803 caused our translation comments to lose association with translation strings This causes our scons check to fail. Description of user facing changes None Description of development approach Move translation comments to reassociated them.
