Hi Rui,
As I said in my last post, these scripts are not the complete answer for
your problem, but they may give you a start.
The lines SayString (GetCharacter ()) and PerformScript
SayNext/PriorCharacter()
in the two arrow scripts seem to have no effect at all.
Martin...
Globals
int iToggle
Script toggleState ()
Let iToggle = not iToggle
;SayInteger (iToggle, 10)
EndScript
Script improvedRightArrow ()
If (iToggle) Then
TypeKey ("Shift+RightArrow")
; SayString ("selected ")
SayString (GetCharacter ())
Else
PerformScript SayNextCharacter()
Endif
EndScript
Script improvedLeftArrow ()
If (iToggle) Then
TypeKey ("Shift+LeftArrow")
;SayString ("unselected ")
SayString (GetCharacter ())
Else
PerformScript SayPriorCharacter()
Endif
EndScript
