Using two tables at once doesn't seem to work? #100

Open zersiax opened 3 years ago

zersiax commented 3 years ago

I am not entirely certain how this feature is supposed to work, so this may just be user error, but: When I set various tables to output only, I can cycle between them with nvda+shift+u. That bit works fine. If I set a secondary output table though, I'm not entirely sure how to make it work. What does this do, just render symbols that aren't in the first using the rules of the second? I used the Japanese braille table as secondary table, which may be why it isn't working as they call that braille table a pseudotable, even though it does show up in Braille Extender's list of braille tables. Is there documentation out there on how this works, how character conflicts etc. are handled and such?

Hi @zersiax, Thanks for this report. This feature is currently buggy and will be replaced by table groups with #56 (soon available in the dev releases). About documentation, I don't have the skills to write a good one. I prefer to work on features. I'm sorry for that.

Missed this , sorry :) Good to hear the multiple tables will be available soon, that would help immensely in some of my tasks. I don't see it quite yet in the dev releases but will be patient :)

Bump :) Just checking what the status is on this one? The PR in question appears to be out of sync with the latest fixes in master, so I can't pull down the tables branch to give the partially completed feature a whirl, as it wouldn't be 2021.1 compatible :)

Hi @zersiax. I've just merged latest changes from master into the tables branch but the PR doesn't work yet. I do not intend to fix it before August, sorry.
