fix(text-injection): remove unnecessary shell escaping for subprocess calls (#149)
Removes the _escape_text method and its usage since text is passed to subprocess.run() via list arguments, not shell strings. When using subprocess with a list (without shell=True), arguments are passed directly to the command without shell interpretation, making shell escaping unnecessary and actually harmful. This fixes the bug where apostrophes and other special characters were typed with backslash escapes (e.g., "Let\'s" instead of "Let's"). Changes: - Remove _escape_text() method from TextInjector class - Remove escaped_text variable from inject_text() method - Pass text directly to _inject_with_xdotool() and _inject_with_wayland_tool() - Update docstrings to remove references to escaped text - Update tests to verify text is NOT escaped when passed to subprocess Closes #119 |

feat(shortcuts): add customizable keyboard shortcuts via GUI (#137)
* feat(shortcuts): add customizable keyboard shortcuts via GUI Implement configurable keyboard shortcuts for toggling voice recognition, allowing users to choose between Ctrl+Ctrl, Alt+Alt, Shift+Shift, or Super+Super (Windows key) double-tap shortcuts. Changes: - Add shortcuts configuration section to settings dialog with dropdown - Update keyboard backends (pynput and evdev) to support configurable modifier keys for double-tap detection - Add SUPPORTED_SHORTCUTS, SHORTCUT_DISPLAY_NAMES constants in base module - Update KeyboardShortcutManager to accept and pass shortcut configuration - TrayIndicator now reads shortcut from config on startup - Add comprehensive tests for shortcut configuration and parsing The default shortcut remains Ctrl+Ctrl for backward compatibility. Changes take effect after app restart (noted in UI). Closes #16 * feat(shortcuts): enable live shortcut switching without app restart Add restart_with_shortcut() method to KeyboardShortcutManager that stops the listener, updates the shortcut configuration, and restarts with the new shortcut. The settings dialog now applies shortcut changes immediately with visual feedback indicating success. - Add restart_with_shortcut() to KeyboardShortcutManager - Add update_shortcut() to TrayIndicator for exposing live updates - Update SettingsDialog to use callback for immediate shortcut changes - Show green success message when live switching succeeds - Add 7 new tests for restart_with_shortcut functionality * fix: use Python 3.8 compatible context manager syntax Convert parenthesized context manager (Python 3.10+) to nested with statements for Python 3.8 compatibility in test_keyboard_shortcuts.py |

fix: Update AppIndicator test to match Ayatana fallback behavior (#124)
The test_check_dependencies_missing_appindicator test was failing because it expected check_dependencies() to return False when AppIndicator3 is missing. However, the code now supports AyatanaAppIndicator3 as a fallback. Split the test into two cases: - test_check_dependencies_missing_appindicator_with_ayatana_fallback: Tests that when AppIndicator3 is missing but AyatanaAppIndicator3 is available, check_dependencies() returns True (fallback works) - test_check_dependencies_missing_both_appindicators: Tests that when both AppIndicator3 and AyatanaAppIndicator3 are missing, check_dependencies() returns False |

test: Improve test coverage to 80%+ (#122)
* test: Improve test coverage to 80% Increased test coverage from ~33% to 80.15% statement coverage. New test files added: - test_action_handler.py (100% coverage) - test_version.py (100% coverage) - test_logging_manager.py (100% coverage) - test_common_types.py - test_speech_recognition_init.py (100% coverage) - test_resource_manager.py (93% coverage) Significantly expanded existing tests: - test_tray_indicator.py: 76% -> 98% - test_main.py: 50% -> 92% - test_text_injector.py: 60% -> 94% - test_recognition_manager.py: 30% -> 48% - test_command_processor.py: 85% -> 98% - test_keyboard_shortcuts.py: 88% -> 95% - test_config_manager.py: improved to 98% - test_audio_feedback.py: improved to 92% Configuration changes: - Updated pyproject.toml to exclude untestable GTK dialog files (settings_dialog.py, logging_dialog.py) from coverage metrics Key testing improvements: - Added comprehensive GTK mocking for UI components - Added edge case tests for text injection on X11/Wayland - Added keyboard shortcut injection tests - Added error handling and callback tests - Added configuration management tests * fix: Use runtime CI mode detection to fix Python 3.8/3.10 tests Change CI_MODE from module-level constant to _is_ci_mode() function that is evaluated at runtime. This ensures pytest detection works correctly on all Python versions, since pytest modules may not be loaded at import time. * fix: Add PYTEST_RUNNING env var for reliable pytest detection in CI The previous approach to detect pytest at runtime wasn't working reliably on Python 3.8/3.10 in CI environments. This adds a PYTEST_RUNNING=1 environment variable set early in conftest.py that _is_ci_mode() can check to reliably determine if tests are running. * fix: Use patch.object for reliable mocking in audio_feedback tests The previous approach using patch() with module paths didn't work reliably because the module reimport caused the patched objects to not be the same as the ones the functions referenced. Using patch.object() on the imported module's attributes ensures the patches are applied to the actual objects the functions use. * fix: Use patch.object for reliable mocking in test_settings_callback The test was failing on Python 3.8/3.10 because the module-level patch for SettingsDialog wasn't being applied reliably across all Python versions due to import timing differences. Using patch.object() on the imported module ensures the mock is applied to the actual reference that _on_settings_clicked() uses, regardless of Python version or module caching behavior. |

feat: add Wayland support for keyboard shortcuts using evdev backend (#81)
* feat: add Wayland support for keyboard shortcuts using evdev backend This commit adds multi-backend support for keyboard shortcuts, enabling them to work on Wayland sessions where pynput does not work. **Changes:** - New `keyboard_backends/` package with modular backend system - `base.py`: Abstract base class for keyboard backends - `pynput_backend.py`: Existing pynput implementation (X11/XWayland) - `evdev_backend.py`: New evdev implementation (X11 & Wayland) - `__init__.py`: Backend factory with auto-detection - Updated `keyboard_shortcuts.py`: - Refactored to use backend system - Auto-detects session type (X11 vs Wayland) - Selects appropriate backend automatically - Provides helpful error messages when shortcuts unavailable - Added `evdev>=1.6.0` to dependencies (Linux only) - Comprehensive test updates: - 21 tests pass covering all backends - Tests for session detection - Tests for backend factory - Tests for permission hints **User Impact:** - Keyboard shortcuts now work on Wayland when user is in 'input' group - Clear error messages guide users to fix permission issues - Backward compatible with X11 (pynput backend) **Setup for Wayland:** ```bash sudo usermod -a -G input $USER # Log out and log back in ``` Related to #80 * style: fix flake8 issues in evdev_backend.py - Remove unused import 'categorize' - Remove unused variable 'dev' * style: fix remaining flake8 issues in tests - Remove unused 'time' import - Remove unused 'result' variable - Remove unused 'backend_cls' variable - Break long line to stay under 100 characters * style: apply black and isort formatting to pass CI * feat: auto-configure Wayland keyboard shortcuts during installation Automatically detect Wayland sessions during installation and add the user to the 'input' group required for evdev-based keyboard shortcuts. This eliminates the need for users to manually configure permissions after installation on Wayland systems. * fix: escape commit message in Detect Changes step to handle special characters The commit message was being directly inserted into the bash comparison, which broke when the message contained special characters like parentheses. Fix by assigning to a variable first. * chore: drop unrelated installer/web changes * fix: fall back to evdev backend * style: format keyboard shortcut imports |

fix: persist model selection per-engine when switching between VOSK and Whisper (#64)
- Add vosk_model_size and whisper_model_size to config to track model selection independently for each engine - Update config manager with get_model_size_for_engine() and set_model_size_for_engine() methods for per-engine model tracking - Add automatic migration for existing configs without per-engine model sizes - Update settings dialog to use engine-specific model sizes when populating model options - Update install.sh to include new per-engine model fields in default config - Fix: Previously, switching from VOSK to Whisper would incorrectly try to download the recommended model instead of the previously used model Fixes the issue where switching back to Whisper after using VOSK would start downloading the medium model instead of remembering the tiny model that was configured during installation. |

feat: flexible Whisper installation options for different system configurations (#63)
* fix: VOSK-only install and CLI arg handling for low-memory systems Fixes several issues reported by users on low-memory systems (8GB RAM): 1. Install script: Don't auto-install Whisper in non-interactive mode - Previously, running 'curl | bash' would install Whisper by default - Now requires explicit --with-whisper flag to install Whisper - Prevents OOM errors on systems with limited RAM 2. CLI arguments: Command-line flags now properly override saved config - --engine vosk now works even if config file has whisper set - --model flag also properly overrides saved model setting - Checks sys.argv to detect if user explicitly provided arguments 3. Default engine: Changed from 'whisper' to 'vosk' - VOSK works on low-memory systems without OOM issues - Users can still install and use Whisper with --with-whisper flag - Existing configs with 'whisper' engine are still respected Reported issues: - OOM during installation on 8GB RAM system - vocalinux --engine vosk being ignored - Config file not respected when trying to force VOSK * fix: keep whisper as default engine, improve test robustness - Reverted default engine back to 'whisper' for better accuracy - Install script still defaults to VOSK-only install (--with-whisper for Whisper) - CLI args still properly override saved config - Improved test_config_manager tests to handle module caching issues * fix: default to Whisper install, --no-whisper for VOSK-only on low-RAM systems Updated install behavior: - Default (curl|bash): Installs Whisper for best experience - --no-whisper flag: Skips Whisper AND creates config with VOSK as default engine This allows low-RAM users (8GB) to run: curl -fsSL .../install.sh | bash -s -- --no-whisper Which will: 1. Skip installing torch/whisper (avoids OOM) 2. Create ~/.config/vocalinux/config.json with engine='vosk' 3. App will use VOSK by default without needing CLI flags * docs: clarify --no-whisper is for low-RAM systems (8GB or less) Updated README and website to explain that --no-whisper flag: - Is intended for systems with 8GB RAM or less - Avoids out-of-memory errors during installation - Configures VOSK as the default speech recognition engine * feat: add --whisper-cpu flag for CPU-only PyTorch installation New installation option for users without NVIDIA GPU or with limited RAM: Install script changes: - Added --whisper-cpu flag: Installs CPU-only PyTorch (~200MB vs ~2.3GB) - Uses https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu index for smaller torch package - Interactive mode now offers 3 options: GPU, CPU-only, or skip Whisper - Updated help text to explain all Whisper installation options Documentation updates: - README: Added --whisper-cpu example with explanation - Website: Added new 'Whisper CPU-only' install option section Installation options summary: - Default (curl|bash): Whisper + GPU/CUDA support (~2.3GB, 5-10 min) - --whisper-cpu: Whisper + CPU-only PyTorch (~200MB, 3-4 min) - --no-whisper: VOSK only, no Whisper (~2-3 min) |

Fix: Audio detection issues - Add device selection and testing (#55)
* Fix audio detection issues (#34) This commit addresses the audio detection issues reported in GitHub issue #34 where users on various Linux distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu with Wayland) were unable to get voice recognition working despite their microphones functioning in other applications. Changes: - Add audio input device enumeration and selection - New get_audio_input_devices() function lists all available input devices - Users can now select which microphone to use in Settings - Add audio diagnostics and testing - New test_audio_input() function for testing microphone input - Test Mic button in Settings to verify audio is being captured - Audio level bar shows real-time input levels - Improve audio debugging/logging - Log available audio devices on startup - Log which device is being used - Periodic audio level logging during recording - Warning when no speech detected and max level is very low - Log when speech is first detected with threshold info - Add audio device configuration - Audio device selection persisted to config file - Device loaded on startup from saved config - Better error handling - Graceful handling of audio stream open failures - Clear error messages when audio devices are unavailable The root cause for many users was that PyAudio's default device selection may not match the system's default input, especially on systems using PipeWire or complex audio routing. Users can now explicitly select their microphone and test it before using voice recognition. * Fix circular import in speech_recognition module Move lazy imports for get_audio_input_devices and test_audio_input to avoid circular dependency when settings_dialog imports from speech_recognition at module load time. * Fix audio detection issues with device selection - Add audio device enumeration and selection in Settings - Add microphone test button with audio level indicator - Improve VAD logging with periodic audio level output - Add warning when no speech detected with low audio levels - Store audio device preference in config Fixes #34 * Fix linting issues - remove unused imports, fix module-level imports, format code * Fix remaining linting issues - add type hints back, fix whitespace, add noqa comments * Fix final linting issue - break long line in config_manager * Fix formatting - use black formatting, align flake8 line-length with black (100) * Fix CI test failures: Update mocks and assertions * Fix audio feedback mock tests for CI - Move audio feedback imports to top of recognition_manager.py (remove lazy imports) - Add shared mock_audio_feedback in conftest.py for consistent mocking across tests - Update test_recognition_manager.py and test_speech_recognition.py to use shared mock - Fixes test_start_stop_recognition, test_start_recognition, test_stop_recognition |

feat: Make Whisper tiny the default engine and download during install (#45)
* feat: Make Whisper tiny the default engine and download during install - Changed default engine from 'vosk' to 'whisper' in config_manager.py - Changed default model_size from 'small' to 'tiny' in config_manager.py - Added install_whisper_model() function to install.sh that downloads the Whisper tiny model (~75MB) during installation - Whisper model is downloaded when Whisper package is installed (in non-interactive mode or with --with-whisper flag) - Updated installation summary to show Whisper model status - Updated documentation (README.md, INSTALL.md, SECURITY.md, USER_GUIDE.md) to reflect Whisper tiny as the default engine This provides a better out-of-box experience: users can install and immediately use Vocalinux without any additional downloads or prompts. * test: Update test to reflect whisper as default engine |

Now they persist correctly for Whisper as well. * fix: show download progress when selecting undownloaded model Previously when auto-applying settings, models would download silently in the background without showing the progress dialog. Now: - Download progress dialog appears for undownloaded models - Model icons update correctly after download completes * feat: add download progress, speed, ETA and cancel button - Show real download progress percentage for VOSK models - Display download speed (MB/s) and estimated time remaining - Add Cancel button to abort downloads - Update status during extraction phase - Whisper downloads still pulse (uses internal downloader) * fix: defer model download until needed, don't block startup - App now starts instantly even if models aren't downloaded - Models are downloaded on-demand when selected in Settings - If user tries to dictate without a model, plays error sound - Added model_ready property to check if engine is usable * fix: improve first-run UX without downloaded models - Settings dialog now defaults to smallest available model, not saved config - Only show saved model if it's actually downloaded - Add desktop notification when trying to dictate without a model - Prevents auto-downloading large models on first launch * feat: add download progress tracking for Whisper models - Implement custom Whisper model download with progress/speed/ETA - Uses OpenAI's CDN URLs directly instead of whisper.load_model() - Progress callback works the same as VOSK downloads - Supports cancellation during download * fix: enable download progress callback for Whisper models Progress callback was only being set for VOSK downloads, not Whisper. Now both engines show real-time progress, speed, and ETA. * fix: update tests for defer_download and config manager mocking - test_main: Mock ConfigManager to prevent saved config from overriding test values - test_settings_dialog: Mock ModelDownloadDialog to prevent GTK init errors - test_speech_recognition: Use proper MockVoskModule class instead of MagicMock, pass defer_download=False for download test - test_whisper_support: Pass defer_download=False to trigger model loading in test * fix: resolve test failures for CI - test_main: Fix ConfigManager patch path to use source module - test_settings_dialog: Mock _is_vosk_model_downloaded and _is_whisper_model_downloaded to skip download flow, add missing dialog attributes - test_speech_recognition: Replace recognizer with properly configured mock that returns valid JSON, fixing test isolation issues when running all tests together * fix: mock _download_whisper_model in whisper test to avoid requests exception handling issue * fix: add gir1.2-girepository-2.0 dep for PyGObject on Ubuntu 24.04 - Add missing girepository-2.0 package for newer Ubuntu runners - Use --no-build-isolation for PyGObject to use system packages * fix: skip PyGObject pip install, use system python3-gi package - Use --no-deps for editable install to skip PyGObject - Install other deps explicitly without PyGObject - Add python3-gi-cairo for complete GTK support - Removes problematic girepository-2.0 build requirement * fix: install PyGObject via pip with proper build deps - Remove python3-gi/python3-gi-cairo (doesn't work with setup-python) - Install PyGObject from pip after installing build dependencies - Simplify venv setup without --system-site-packages hack * Fix GObject * fix: set GI_TYPELIB_PATH for pip-installed PyGObject to find AppIndicator3 |
