Hello Dave,
I just tried that for the up arrow but no luck.  It just does nothing.
I did start a script that might be half way there, but can't seem to get the second half of it right. It looks kind of like this:
Script DownArrow ()

PassKeyThrough ()

Pause ()

TypeKey ("DownArrow")

EndScript

At this point, if I press down arrow twice I could get it to work since the first press of the down arrow did what is the equivalent of the jaws key plus 3 command. Now if I can only get it to press the down arrow right after the pass key through, then I would have it.

Assign a .jkm file to the game program. Then set assign the arrow keys to do
nothing. I'm guessing that will override the default.jkm file.

Anyone else think this is worthy of consideration?

Subject: Jaws 10.0: How do I get JAWS to bypass a key permenantly


Hello,
The developer of  a new audio game is trying to include JAWS support, but
the developer can't get JAWS to let the game use the tab, escape, and arrow keys. Of corse, keys like tab and escape I can just use JAWS key plus 3 on
the number row since its not used too often, but the arrow keys are used
very often. My question is there a way to set JAWS to let a certain program use those keys? I was thinking that one way was to write scripts, but after
reading about 7 chapters of the basics of scripting, I still can't see how
it could be done.  Not to mention By the sixth chapter or so, I started to
get real lost.  Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
