AkelEdit feature request: Ability to get sentence boundaries
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 7:16 pm
Hello,
I think the subject says it all.
Many controls except of plain edit controls are able to give sentence offsets. We developing NVDA an open-source screen reading application for windows are relying on it to provide continuous reading by sentence. Initially I've started to think about implementing something in our code to handle this but I have recently discoveret there are just simple edit controls suffering from this. Even richedit can expose sentence boundaries while using itextdocument interface.
Since NVDA is written in python implementing something like this might be more eficient in the control it-self. Also I believe I am not the only one who may benefit of such a feature in AkelEdit.
I think Sentence has to start with capital letter and it might end in one of the ?! followed by nothing or one of "')]} and other types of quotes and braces and finally followed by whitespaces.
Can you tell me your thoughts at least please?
