So I have another question...
Tones.beep doesn't output multiple frequencies at once. To do this I
assume I will need to generate wave data (usually done as floats between
-1.0 and 1.0) and feed them to nvwave.wavePlayer. The problem is,
wavePlayer.feed takes an str argument, and I can find very little
information about the format of this string. So, how do you generate
waves and play them?

Hi Amanda,
1. You can get the name/identifier for the gesture by doing
gesture.displayName. The complete list of valid gestures is located in NVDA
core under source/vkCodes.py.
2. To send the gesture to the operating system, at the beginning of the
script routine, write gesture.send().
3. I usually use print statements in the script body to locate errors. When
this is done, NVDA will output stdout as part of the log viewer text (log
file). Of course in production releases, remove traces of debugging once you
know your script is working as advertised.
Any other questions?
Cheers,

Subject: [nvda-addons] Basic script questions
Hi, these are just a few dumb questions while I experiment with a few
plugins before actually getting started on my project.
First, is there a comprehensive list of gestures and their names?
Second, normally a script won't execute and then send the gesture to the
operating system, but is there a way to make it do this?
Finally, and this is more of a debugging question, what's the easiest way to
get error messages? I've been copying my code to the global plugins folder
and then reloading the plugins, but this doesn't generate any messages when
things don't work.
