Please [submit GitHub issues](https://github.com/j6k4m8/clack/issues) with comments and suggestions!\n\nClack is a code editor for your ears.\n\nWhile clack does have a terminal-based user interface like vim or nano, it is designed to be used with keyboard inputs only, and audio outputs only. That makes clack a perfect editor low low-vision or vision-impaired users, or for users who are sitting in a park with a keyboard-only device.\n\nClack is not a code editor with audio cues glued on, through janky plugins or aftermarket shims. Intuitive, useful, and complete audio feedback is a design principle, and is a fundamental part of clack's design.\n\n## Features\n\n### Current\n\n-   Audio cues for menu operations like saving and quitting\n-   Audio cues for indent levels\n-   Audio cues when switching between modes (edit/find/etc)\n-   Code-friendly verbalizations for symbols (`...` becomes \"dotdotdot\" instead of being interpreted silently as the end of a sentence)\n-   Consistent audio \"semantics\" for successful / unsuccessful / in-progress operations\n\n### Roadmap\n\n| Feature       | Description                               | Landing        |\n| ------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------------- |\n| Modal editing | Modes for editing, like vim               | September 2022 |\n| Find/Replace  | Find and replace text in the file         | September 2022 |\n| Audio AST     | Audio cues for syntax highlighting        | End of 2023    |\n| Commute Mode  | Hands- and eyes-free voice-driven editing | End of 2023    |\n\n## Usage\n\nRun clack from the command line like any other terminal-based editor. You can pass a filename to clack to open or create it.\n\n```shell\nclack main.py\n```\n\n### Keyboard Shortcuts\n\nClack's keyboard shortcuts are still a work-in-progress and support will improve as time goes on. In general, `Ctrl` shortcuts are \"edit\" shortcuts, and `Alt` shortcuts are speech or accessibility shortcuts.\n\nFor now, the following shortcuts are supported:\n\n| Key      | Action                                 |\n| -------- | -------------------------------------- |\n| `Ctrl+F` | Find (`Ctrl-F`/`Ctrl-B`) cycle results |\n| `Ctrl+S` | Save (`Esc` to cancel)                 |\n| `Ctrl+Q` | Quit                                   |\n\n### Speech Commands\n\n| Key     | Action                               |\n| ------- | ------------------------------------ |\n| `Alt+L` | Speak the current line               |\n| `Alt+/` | Speak the current location (Row/Col) |\n| `Alt+.` | Speak the current word               |\n\n### Navigation\n\nArrow keys move the cursor around. Page-up and page-down scroll the text by a page, and Home/End jump to the start/end of the line.\n\n## Hardware\n\nOne fun aspect of using Clack is that it can be run entirely by ear, and does not require an integrated terminal. This means that you can use Clack on a keyboard-all-in-one. Here are some (untested and un-verified) examples of such hardware:\n\n-   Raspberry Pi 400\n-   PC-K2\n-   U310\n\n\n# Documentation\n\nGenerate documentation by running:\n\n```shell\ncargo doc\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fj6k4m8%2Fclack","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fj6k4m8%2Fclack","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fj6k4m8%2Fclack/lists"}
