Add support for dictionaries written in an arbitrary language communicating via stdio.
This is a fork of benoit-pierre/plover_python_dictionary at version 1.1.0.
An stdio dictionary is a shell script, ran in ~/.local/share/plover
#!/bin/sh
./some-dictionary-binary TEFT
The protocol uses JSON for everything except error reporting, with one json object per line.
The script first outputs its configuration, in the following form:
{"longest-key": 5, "max-latency-ms": 100, "untranslate": true}
Default values:
max-latency-ms:null(nullmeans it will potentially block forever)untranslate:false
Afterwards it'll receive stroke sequences like
{"seq": 0, "translate": ["TH", "S", "AEU", "TEFT"]}
or
{"seq": 0, "untranslate": "this is a test"}
The response should be an object with seq matching the seq value of the input.
Response keys (all optional):
translation(fortranslate): The text for a successful translation, if applicablereverse-translation(foruntranslate): The list of stroke sequences for a successful reverse lookup, if applicable
Any output on stderr is relayed back to Plover as an exception, per line.
