This integration allows you to use "pop" and "hiss" noise from Talon in Serenade, as well as sleep and wake Serenade from Talon.
-
Place
talon_for_serenadefolder inside of yourtalon/userfolder (you'll have to find the path, it may be different from system to system. On windows it's in C:/Users/{UserName}/AppData/Roaming/talon, on other OS it might be home/.talon). If you have talon community/knausj installed, you can say "go talon home" from the explorer or finder to jump straight there. Code must go in the "user" folder for it to execute. -
Try running Talon (it can stay in sleep mode), and try 'pop' or 'hiss' sound, and see if they get logged to talon/parrot.log file which should be created.
-
Update the
talon_commands.talonandtalon_sleep_commands.talonfiles to make sure it is using the correct hotkey to toggle Serenade sleep/wake. You can read about Talon keys mappings here: https://talon.wiki/key_action/ -
Try "serenade wake" and "serenade sleep". You can customize these phrases.
-
Now that the Talon side is finished, let's move on to the Serenade side. Place
talon_parrot_reader.jsin you~/.serenade/scriptsfolder. -
You must update this line in
talon_parrot_reader.js. Use the actual path.
const file = path.normalize(
"C:\\Users\\{UserName}\\AppData\\Roaming\\talon\\parrot.log"
);
- from the
.serneadedirectory, install the required packagetail-file
npm install tail-file
- Note that you have to say "start parrot", or somehow save a cachedApi in order for the integration to start working.
serenade.global().command("start parrot", (api) => {
console.log("Starting to listen to parrot");
cachedApi = api;
});
Note that the talon/parrot.log file will continue to grow so you should probably delete it over time, or add python code to talon/user/talon_for_serenade/parrot.logger.py to auto clean it up every now and then.
You can add more commands to the Talon files, such as F1-F12 keys or other keys if you like. Example: function one: key(f1). You can add these commands to the talon_commands.talon and talon_sleep_commands.talon, or make new .talon files, as long as it's inside the user folder.
If you want to disable any of the talon commands or parrot commands, put a # before the line.
Talon comes with two free parrot sounds. "pop" and "hiss". however "hiss" may trigger too aggressively, so it is commented out by default.
