Plover Q&A
This Plover extension plugin contains metas for your
dictionaries that can assist with Q&A (Question and Answer): the process of
recording lines of questioning in a conversation involving multiple people,
usually in a legal context.
More information about the concept of Q&A can be found at:
Platinum Steno Lesson 27 QA video
More information about the creation of, and reasoning behind, the outlines that
originally informed this plugin can be found at the following blog post:
Plover For the Record
You can see a video of the plugin in action here:

How To Use
See the INSTRUCTIONS page.

python -m pip install --editable ".[test]"
If you are a Tmuxinator user, you may find my plover_q_and_a project
file of reference.
Python Version
Plover's Python environment currently uses version 3.9 (see Plover's
workflow_context.yml to confirm the current version).
So, in order to avoid unexpected issues, use your runtime version manager to
make sure your local development environment also uses Python 3.9.x.
Testing
Pytest is used for testing in this plugin.
Coverage.py and pytest-cov are used for test coverage, and to run
coverage within Pytest
Pylint is used for code quality
Mypy is used for static type checking
Currently, the only parts able to be tested are ones that do not rely directly
on Plover.
Run tests, coverage, and linting with the following commands:
pytest --cov --cov-report=term-missing
pylint plover_q_and_a
mypy plover_q_and_a
To get a HTML test coverage report:
coverage run --module pytest
coverage html
open htmlcov/index.html
If you are a just user, you may find the justfile useful during
development in running multiple test commands. You can run the following command
from the project root directory:
just --working-directory . --justfile test/justfile
Deploying Changes
After making any code changes, install the plugin into Plover with the following
command:
plover --script plover_plugins install --editable .
Where plover in the command is a reference to your locally installed version
of Plover. See the Invoke Plover from the command line page for details on
how to create that reference.
When necessary, the plugin can be uninstalled via the command line with the
following command:
plover --script plover_plugins uninstall plover-q-and-a
