- SelectedTextChanged posted only for focused element: prevents completion
buffer from triggering double-speech (old-candidate + new-candidate)
- AnnouncementRequested for char navigation restored (evil block cursor fix):
posted AFTER SelectedTextChanged so VoiceOver cancels its own reading
and uses our explicit char-at-point announcement
- Priority: Medium (was High)
- Remove static Lisp_Object locals; use DEFSYM in syms_of_nsterm (GC-safe)
- Replace Lisp calls in accessibilityIndexForCharpos / charposForAccessibilityIndex
with NSString composed-character traversal (thread-safe, no Lisp needed)
- isAccessibilityFocused reads cachedPoint instead of marker_position off-thread
- Remove double-announcement: character nav uses only SelectedTextChanged
- Line announcement priority: High → Medium (avoid suppressing VO feedback)
- Remove 'extern Lisp_Object last_command_event' - last_command_event
is a macro in globals.h (expands to globals.f_last_command_event),
so an extern declaration conflicts with the existing
'extern struct emacs_globals globals'
- Replace invalid C escape sequences '\C-n' and '\C-p' with
('n' & 0x1f) and ('p' & 0x1f) respectively
Root cause: ns_ax_buffer_text used BUF_BYTE_ADDRESS + raw pointer
read which crosses the buffer gap when visible runs span it. The gap
follows point, so completion cycling and dired navigation reliably
trigger corruption — VoiceOver reads wrong text.
Fix: Replace raw pointer extraction with Fbuffer_substring_no_properties
which handles the gap internally. Add ax_length field to visible run
struct for accurate UTF-16 length tracking (fixes supplementary
Unicode character offset drift).
Secondary: ax_offset accumulation now uses NSString length (UTF-16
units) instead of Emacs char count, preventing progressive drift in
index mapping for subsequent visible runs.
Major architectural change: ns_ax_buffer_text now skips text with
the 'invisible' property using TEXT_PROP_MEANS_INVISIBLE. Accessibility
text matches what the user sees on screen.
New ns_ax_visible_run struct tracks charpos↔ax-index mapping for each
visible text run. All 8 index conversion sites updated. Fixes wrong
line reading in dired, completions, and any buffer with invisible text.
Completions announcement now detects completions-highlight overlay
and reads the full highlighted candidate text instead of partial line.
