Making connection on Windows by process ID

[pawelurbanski]

Hi Everyone,
I did some research, looked through the test files and an issue about Windows connection over named pipes. Unfortunately, I still do not know how to approach the following case:

• I am developing a screen reader add-on that will improve interaction,
• I need to connect to the launched instance of Neovim in the TUI mode,

I could ask the users to make some configuration changes, but maybe it is not required, for the screen reader API returns the following information:

appModule: <'nvim' (appName 'nvim', process ID 10092) at address 43c3db0>

As you can see, I get the process ID and so on. Here are my ideas and questions:

• Can I use the process ID to connect to this particular instance,
• It is the instance launched by the user with the screen reader add-on/module attached,
• What would be the code to connect to this session?
• How can I query and get notified of Neovim mode changes?

The rational for this add-on is the following:

• Screen readers work in a similar manner as VIM: browse/focus modes like normal/insert modes,
• When VIM is in normal mode the commands change the caret and/or selection, but the screen reader is not notified,
• I need to know what is the current VIM mode so I can write screen reader scripts to query for text changes,

Thank you in advance for any help and feedback...
