don't use tab in this script. My opinian is
1. focus to the edit field in which you want to add hot key
2. ctrl+Jawskey+f1, ctrl+a and copy all the information from the vertual
viewer
3. Open Notepad and save is to Info.txt or any name you like
now write the script
Script MyScript ()
Var
Handle EditField
Let EditField= FindWindowWithClassAndId (GetAppMainWindow (GetCurrentWindow
()), MyClass, 0)
;note: myClass is the windows class jaws gave you from the info.txt.
If GetControlID (GetCurrentWindow ())==id_EditField
&& GetWindowClass (GetCurrentWindow ())!=="MyClass then ;the focus doesn't
stand at edit windows write now
SetFocus (EditField) ;move focus to the edit field
EndIf
EndScript
This just an experian script. I've done it for the babylon dictionary. It
works very well. However, I don't know your application, so you may need to
edit it alot before using
Hope that help
