Without a star, the layer exits when that line's final key is typed. With a
star, the layer remains in effect indefinitely; so the next key typed applies
at the same layer.
I have honestly not tried the Keyboard Manager for layered keys.

Hi Doug,
If I don't put a star in, how long does JAWS stay in the layer?
Also, can I enter layered keystrokes using the keyboard manager?
Cheers
Sean.

The key layer system is not designed to support your three-second timeout, but
you *may* be able to pull that off via scheduleFunction of
CancelLayeredKeySequence. You'll need to play with the KeyMapChangedEvent to
implement layers. jkm entries look like layer1key&layer2key=action,
layer1key&layer2key&layer3key=action etc. You'll need a star (*) before the
equal signs to make JAWS stay in the layer until you cancel it yourself.

Hi all,
What is the best way of introducing a command layer in to scripts, kind of like
insert-space?
For example I want to allow the user to press the F2 key and then allow other
keys to be pressed for say 3 seconds.
Any ideas welcome?
Kind regards
Sean.
