Talon User files

Anonfunc's Talon user files

Talon scripts with a "real english words" approach.

Most commands are organized around "verb adjective noun adverb".

Installation for Talon users

Clone to ~/.talon/user.

Most of this is focused around programming in JetBrains IDEs, so you'll want to install this plugin. (Search the Marketplace for "Voicecode", it's installable that way.)

Full bootstrapping for users new to Talon

• Install Talon from https://talonvoice.com or the #beta channel on the Talon Slack.
• (Optional but recommended) Install Dragon (discontinued, buy from Amazon/Ebay. Physical copies included download codes.)
• (Required if using Dragon) Install Dragon 6.0.8 update
• (Optional, but recommended) Buy a Tobii 4C (also on Amazon)
• Start Talon, start Dragon (?).
• Follow "Installation for Talon users" instructions.

Taxonomy of verbs:

Not comprehensive, look at the scripts for the final word.

talon-user's Issues

README refers to vscode.py

Link "this file" in "Copy this file and this directory to your ~/.talon/user directory." refers to a nonexistent file now that the files have been moved into /vscode directory. Not sure if another file still needs to be pulled in, so filing issue instead of PR.

README here:
https://github.com/anonfunc/talon-user/tree/master/vscode#install-the-vs-code-plugin-and-talon-files

Using vscode.py requires /user/std.py and /user/utility.py

vscode.py:

from user.std import text, parse_word

std.py:

from user.utility import (
    parse_word,
    parse_words,
    rot13,
    sentence_text,
    surround,
    text,
    word,
)

FYI I locally made a copy of utility.py and did my own imports.

PS Thanks a lot for this! Will give it a go.
