[jawsscripts] Re: Scripts don't work

Make sure when you change the key assignment for a script, that the
script does not use the TypeCurrentScriptKey() function.
In this case, you should use the TypeKey function and specify the
control+o as the key to be simulated.
If your script is using the TypeCurrentScriptKey function , Jaws will
simulate the key that you pressed (F5) and because F5 does not normally
do anything for FSReader, nothing will happen.  I believe I mentioned
this a few weeks ago when Matthew was defining an alternative key
assignment for the play/stop key.
Here is the OpenDialog script.

script OpenDialog()
if UserBufferIsActive() then
        UserBufferDeactivate()
EndIf
SayCurrentScriptKeyLabel()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
EndScript

Wow! he's right! something very odd going on here worthy of someone's
attention.
I just did some banging away at this myself in  fsReader, and something
very
odd is going on there with new keyboard assignments simply not
activating
properly, even though they're large as life in the jkm assigned to the
same
Script! it's as if something global is being set in fsReader somehow
that is
preventing these. it's something I confess I've never ever seen
before.

I'm working in jaws6.2 mainly, but I tested in jaws10 as well and seems
to
be same deal!
if you add the keystroke
f5, or control+alt+N
to the open dialog script in FsReader jkm, it appears as an entry in
keyboard manager, also appears in the actual jkm file in a text
editor,
moving it from [desktop] section, into [common] section does nothing to
help
this.
But, here's the super strange thing, turning on keyboard help and
hitting
the newly added keystroke, indeed speaks the open dialog script to
which
it's been assigned!
so everything looks to me green and go for the newly added keystroke
to
work, but it certainly doesn't work here either!

just actually changing the control+o entry, to f5 or f6, or to, say,
control+alt+n, although it is accepted as a change in the keyboard
manager,
and speaks it's function when under keyboard help, also fails to
activate
the actual OpenDialog script!

it's indeed very strange!
anyone care to comment on what could b going on there for matthew?

I certainly have never seen such behaviour before and can only imagine
something funky is going on in a global key Pass through situation
somewhere, but it's beyond me I must freely admit.
I've tried it with the PlayPause script as well, and same deal!
although it
appears to take, and the entry really is in the fsReader.jkm under a
text
editor, and announces itself in help, it just doesn't fire when
pressed!
how very odd!
