[jawsscripts] Re: FS Reader Script Help

Here is another idea you can use.

You could use the IsSameScript function to perform one action when key
is pressed once and specify different functionality to be used for
subsequent presses of the same key.

Lets start with the 5 key on the number pad.

This key has been mapped to the SayCharacter script.

All you would need to do is to add this script to the FSReader.jss file
and compile it.

If you check back a few days on this list there was a discussion of the
IsSameScript function.  I have used Paul Magill's method when coding
this script.

The subject for the post was:  Help with a script

Script SayCharacter () ; for Num pad 5 key 
if isSameScript () then 
        TypeKey ("control+p") ; original keystroke for PlayPause
function
;       PerformScript PlayPause() this does not work here because 
; PlayPause uses TypeCurrentScriptKey() which would result in the wrong
key being pressed
else
        Delay (3, true) ; allow a delay 
        if IsKeyWaiting () then ; get out if another key was pressed 
                return 
        endif
        PerformScript SayCharacter() ; perform the default SayCharacter
script.
endif
EndScript

You could do something similar for SayPriorCharacter and
SayNextCharacter scripts.

This approach should work.

Script SayPriorCharacter () ; 4 on num pad 
if isSameScript () then 
        PerformScript Rewind()
else
        Delay (3, true)
        if IsKeyWaiting () then 
                return 
        endif
        PerformScript SayPriorCharacter()
endif

EndScript


Watch out for the use of TypeCurrentScriptKey functions in the FSReader
scripts.

Everett,

You just conveyed the equivalent of Chinese calculus with this
explanation. 
(laughing). Like I stated, I'm still a beginner, but the good news is
that 
you conveyed it was not impossible to do what I want which is a good
thing. 
I will try to research as much as I am able to later tonight after work
as 
well as this weekend. Hopefully I can continue to ask you for more help
and 
feedback as I go along.

Matthew
