Unexpected focus object name and URL caused the add-on to not work in some cases.

Hi Tony,

I mentioned before in groups.io that the plugin didn't work for me.
I did some debugging and found the exact cause of the issue.

URL mismatch in some cases:

The URL of my document is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-QJdda6_hzISQYTM600LtOpzw8Jy5SQy8bm2PqBjCLA/edit?usp=sharing

However, at some point, the last character in 'docs.google.com/document/d' may also become 'u'. I still don't know what 'd' and 'u' mean.

Just for debugging, I changed the matching expression on line 191 of the script into the following form:
if not url.startswith("https://docs.google.com/document/"):

focus object name doesn't match

I'm using the Chinese google docs: the focus name has been localized to Chinese.
Actually '文档内容' rather than 'document content'.

After I fixed these two things, the add-on worked as expected.

In addition, we should probably also mention in the add-on that the shortcut key to start NVDA should be changed to other shortcut keys, although Google has already done this in the Google docs documentation.

Best
Cary

Thansk for reporting this. I just pushed a few commits to the main branch - would you like to test if that solves your issue?

Hi @mltony

Yes, the latest commit worked for me.

There is a typo in the last line of the document:

Selection commands, such as Shift+Arrows are not supported at this time. Please switch to forms mode for selection.

Did you mean "focus mode"?

Also, I've found that if a document doesn't contain a link and I try to navigate to the next link it causes an error in google docs.

If I press ctrl+alt+n,ctrl+alt+k alone, no error will occur.

If more debug logging is needed, I'll do it.

Thanks
