Background

Until this time, audio notifications have been for notifying the user about what gestures they are performing.

The change

This PR implements abstract notifications for the actual actions being performed.

These will make the same noises regardless of which gestureLayout is being used, which will help migrating between gestureLayouts.

I've chosen audio notifications that sound pleasant when compatible actions happen together, and sound bad when likely-incompatible actions happen together. Eg:

  • Hand enters + left down then left up, will play C E G. (Should sound nice.)
  • Hand enters + right down then right up, will play C F A. (Should sound nice.)
  • Hand enters + left up + right up will play C G A. (Should sound bad.)

The traditional notification styles still exist, and should remain compatible long term.

Important considerations

  • example audio layouts from this version are unlikely to be usable on versions of handWavey older than 2024.03.10.0.

Instead of the notifying the raw gestures, notify the abstract actions.
This gives much cleaner notifications, and gives a better understanding
of what handWavey is interpreting/doing.
Having both styles together will be unplesant, and not particularly
informative.
