Cool idea, I've thought about writing an editor on python as well, so glad to see how you've done it.

If you're looking for contributions though, I think you'd be wanting some changes to help other python devs to join in:

1. run a code formatter on it. I don't know why you put many statements on one line with a `;` - if anything it just suggests that the code is messy.

2. Have some basic tests so we know where the guardrails are.

There's also no structure. You've got this all in 3 python files, which is great and all for a personal project, but if you want some contribs, then you've got to help us out... i have no idea what I'm looking at..

What is `rightSpeak` `fullSpeak` and `speak` for instance?

it is text to speech. its purely for people who are writing articles and stuff.

right_speech : speak only selection

full_speak : read aloud the whole file.
