To make this work `AccountManager` is split off from controller taking all the code around `AccountRegister` and is added to LibNeoChat as it makes sense to have this functionality there.
This merge request adds a simple "Read Text Aloud" menu action to the context menu for chat messages. When clicked, the message text will be read aloud using text-to-speech.
The intention behind this change is to make it easier for myself and other low-vision users to use Matrix, without needing to use a system-wide screen reader, in cases where the user still has enough sight left to navigate a computer faster without a screen reader.
I'd eventually like to have it read " said ," so that the message sender gets read aloud as well, but for now it just reads the plaintext message contents.
Another problem, at least on my computer specifically, is that the voice's accent doesn't seem correct. For whatever reason, on my system, messages are read in a Scottish accent which is harder for me to understand. Other apps don't do that, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I do not want to hardcode a specific voice/locale, since I want this feature to work well for everyone and not just me.
@teams/qa Please do break my code! :) - I've only tested with basic text messages.
@teams/usability Not sure if I put the context menu action in an ideal place, it's grouped in the same area as clipboard actions like "Copy Text."
@teams/localization How could I go about getting author names to be read aloud in a way that's properly translated for other languages? I'm not experienced with i18n.
For long links, this ends up going "off" the window (not really of
course.) One good example is Bugzilla filter URLs which are ungodly
huge. So eliding these just makes it look better, browsers do this too.
This fixes some odd UX where you tap on someone's user in a search or
pinned messages window, but it opens in the NeoChat main window instead.
Fixes#681
Currently the page experienc on mobile is suboptimal as back gestures do not work and the startup behaviour is not ideal.
This reworks it so that pages are now pushed as a layer on mobile and at startup only a saved space is restored. It is also setup so that on mobile you'll never see a blank room page (like when you select friends or home).
Have controller link to neochatconnection for errorOccured rather than call directly to remove dependency on controller.
For all the same reasons as network/neochat!1926
The default timeout is a bit long, "short" is 3 seconds shorter than the
default. For long-term network errors, we have a banner telling you so
anyway. This should hopefully reduce the notification spam when you have
temporary network dropouts.
Use new KirigamiAddons ConfigurationsView as a replacement for
CategorizedSettings. Fix some issues on desktop when running Qt 6.8
and some less recent issues on mobile.
Visually this looks the same.
Depends on https://github.com/quotient-im/libQuotient/pull/695
Currently basic just to show a working implementation using RoomMember. Currently only the room event and search models are moved over. Will change everything else over once the dependent pr is complete.
Right now they use the standard text but left and right arrow icons,
which is a bit odd, and I think fails to convey what will happen when
clicked especially whern the drawer is closed.
Instead, let's use descriptive tooltip text for both, and a descriptive
icon for the the "this will open the drawer" handle button. For the one
to close the drawer, the default icon seems better, so let's stop
overriding it.
