Error when routing

[vincent-lg-ma]

This has come out of the blue, but I hadn't been using BrailleExtender on this machine for some time and I finally did... only to find my Braille routing keys didn't work anymore. Horrified, I tried to uncheck options and see if it changed things, though it seemed to make them worse. In the NVDA log, there's this error:

error executing script: <bound method script_braille_routeTo of <globalCommands.GlobalCommands object at 0x07CCA770>> with gesture 'routing'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scriptHandler.pyc", line 208, in executeScript
  File "C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\BrailleExtender\globalPlugins\brailleExtender\patches.py", line 86, in script_braille_routeTo
    speechMode = speech.speechMode
AttributeError: module 'speech' has no attribute 'speechMode'

I am unsure why I see this message now. Routing did work and I definitely didn't update NVDA or BralileExtender in a long while. I checked that I was running on the latest (stable) version of BrailleExtender. Is that an API change that went unnoticed?

Again thank you for all your work,

Hello, and my apologies for the delay. This bug is normally fixed since May... Indeed an API change, see https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/12395. Please provide your NVDA version and Braille Extender version if still occurs.

NVDA version is 2021.2, which is the latest stable if I'm not mistaken. BrailleExtenderEdition is version 21.09.23:cccb2ed, which is the same on stable and development (if I'm not mistaken). To be sure, the problem occurs each time I use the routing cursor while in the console (routing in other applications does work). I have the option to move the cursor when routing in review mode, which (usually) is pretty handy. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this precision! Could you try the dev version or the build from #106 => https://github.com/aaclause/BrailleExtender/suites/3870272275/artifacts/96281745 EDIT: hmm, I don't know if it is a direct link. It seems that Artifact download URLs only work for registered users.

New build: https://github.com/aaclause/BrailleExtender/suites/3870771364/artifacts/96296492 From this build you need to re-enable the option. General section, then "Emulate horizontal arrow keys to move cursor in edit areas". I highly recommend an app profile for this option. This feature can now be used in focus mode and can help in some apps such as PyCharm or IntelliJ.

I've tried it. For some reason I was still on an old version though I always accept updates. And I have to say, the new version is really great. Using the routing keys in Braille in review mode was a bit random before. It's fully stable now. It allows to do the same in other applications (PyCharm might be more accessible for Braille users, that's a win) and using emacs or vim in WSL is so much more comfortable, since it's possible to just use the routing keys even in a different Braille window, which didn't work beforehand. Plus, the new feature about indicating formatting (spelling errors and such) is really great. So a big thank you, this is a new game-changer for Braille users.

Thanks for this feedback! :)

Outdated

I'm not very satisfied with the new strings added in #106. Do you have any suggestions to be more concise? New strings: - "Emulate horizontal arrow keys to move cursor in edit areas (can help in Windows consoles, IntelliJ, PyCharm... It is better to activate this option on demand or an application profile)": the label of this option in general settings - "Toggle emulate horizontal arrow keys to move cursor in edit areas": the description of the gesture to enable/disable this feature on the fly. (can be assigned in input gestures dialog) - "Moving the cursor with arrow keys enabled" / "Moving the cursor with arrow keys disabled": A flash message displayed when we use the previous gesture
