Hi,

Referencing #2012:

On the Apex BT, there exists a scroll wheel between dots 1 and 4. This consists of four directional dots, a center button and a scroll wheel.

The below commit assigns following commands:

  • Center button: ENTER.
  • Directional dots are assigned to arrow keys.
  • Scroll clockwise: TAB.
  • Scroll counterclockwise: Shift+TAB.

Also took the time to update the BN driver by modifying copyrights. Another branch will be used for providing basic support for BrailleNote QT. Thanks.

BrailleNote: Various BT and QT commands now work correctly. re #5992.

Somehow, forgot to check that Rui used a tuple to specify key assignments. Now utilized properly to assign multiple gestures to a command. Also took this time to add codes for various QT keys so NVDA can properly recognize them.

Hi,

#5993 portion: Working great according to two testers. I'm waiting for feedback from other Apex BT users (I use an Apex BT).

Thanks.

BrailleNote QT: handle QT input directly from read packet function. re …
72c6648 
…nvaccess#5992

Comment from Jamie Teh (Nv Access): there's no need to call read packet again if we're dealing with QT, so handle this from read packet directly. Thus readPacket returns three things: command, arg (dot mask on BT/command for QT), arg2 (char from QT).

Review from Jamie Teh (NV Access):
* QT can emulate a BrailleNote BT, hence clarify this.
* Removed redundant kcinclude statement.

BrailleNote: support for QT and Apex BT scroll wheel (#6316)

* BrailleNote: Support scroll wheel on Apex BT. re #5992

* BrailleNote: Support BrailleNote QT basic mode. re #5993

* BrailleNote: Various BT and QT commands now work correctly. re #5992.

Somehow, forgot to check that Rui used a tuple to specify key assignments. Now utilized properly to assign multiple gestures to a command. Also took this time to add codes for various QT keys so NVDA can properly recognize them.

* BrailleNote QT: QT key parser refactor.

Instead of relying on a dedicated QT key parser, handle parsing directly in readPacket. Also simplifies gesture ID assignment, as the packet will tell the gesture constructor as to what key it is.

* BrailleNote QT: comment text change, correct ticket, simplified dictionary key lookup. re #5993

A tip from Jamie Teh (NV Access0: use dict.get to simplify the turnary operation. Also, BNQT ticket is 5993, not 5992, and correct comment text.

* User guide: cosmetics. re #5992

Review from Jamie Teh (NV Access):
* QT can emulate a BrailleNote BT, hence clarify this.
* Removed redundant kcinclude statement.

* BrailleNote QT: use set instead of worrying too much about formatting gesture identifier right. #5993

Comment from Jamie Teh (NV Access): use sets instead of turning that into a list just for formatting purposes (and turns out this is unnecessary).

* Merge master

* Readjust commands

* BrailleNote: copyright year update, QT key name changes. Re #5992.

* Restore executable permission to win32calc

BrailleNote QT: no more ord(arg2) due to stringification. Re nvaccess…

…#5992.

Perhaps due to use of HwIO: strings are passed in, so no need to ord it anymore. This means QT commands will no longer fail to function.
