Re: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12

The way I get time and date is to press insert (f 12) and then hold down the 
insert key while I press (f 12) twice quickly.

  Hi Chris,
  I would think that you could look at the keyboard manager
  and find out what script is assigned to that keystroke, and then slightly 
modify the script to announce both pieces of information at the same time.
  I can do it easily enough with a simple saystring, but I'm guessing that fs 
probably uses the  say useing voice function.

  Subject: getting the time and date with one press of insert f12


  Hi folks, I'm pretty sure this is a scripting issue, and I've never 
  been able to wrapp my mind around the scripting language, all accept 
  for code that I've gotten from other folks and put to use 
  myself.  But like the subject line says, I've noticed that other 
  screenreaders give you the time and date with one press of a hot 
  key.  With JAWS, you have to press insert f12 twice to do this.  So, 
  is there a script, or some other type of modification I can make so 
  that JAWS will say, 1:32 PM on August 27th, 2007?
  Note the time I gave is my current time just as an example. I'm 
  pretty sure this can be done, but I've never understood why JAWS 
  doesn't do this too.

  Thanks for any help.
