I just tried attaching scripts to u and i and it didn't advance. I'm
guessing it plays games with keys attached to scripts. So I guess we're
stuck with setting typing echo to none.

Hi Gary,
when one of the scrubbing keys is pressed, the initial key down starts the playback, and any additional key down events before the key up event are ignored. In other words, if keys didn't repeat when held down, scrubbing using the keyboard would not be affected. My understanding is that Jaws sees the key events before Audacity.

Hi David,
Does scrubbing work by catching the up and down events or using
the repeated sending of the keys? I may be able to silence it by
attaching a script to it like I do for the Record keys. If you
catch up and down events I don't know what that will do to JAWS or
what JAWS will do to it when you put a script on the key.

Forgot to add a note for any Jaws users trying out the scrubbing
in the release candidate.
If you are using the Jaws screen reader, and its typing echo
setting is set to characters, which is the default, then if you
press and hold down one of keys for scrubbing, you will hear the
name of the key being repeated while you scrub. To avoid this,
you can temporarily set the typing echo to none. To do this,
press Insert + 2 until you hear the word none, and use the same
keystroke to set the typing echo back to characters.

For Windows users, there's both a portable version and an
installer for the release candidate. This is a link to the
portable version:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-devel.html?dwl=Audacity-2.4.0rc05.zip
And this is a link to the installer:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-devel.html?dwl=audacity-win-2.4.0rc05.exe
The new features in this release are given on this page of
the manual:
https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/New_features_in_this_release
Of interest to screen reader users include the ability to
scrub using the keyboard, and the removal of the audio
position control from the selection toolbar. The audio
position control is now in a separate Time toolbar, which is
placed after the Selection Toolbar. So you just have to tab a
bit more to get to the audio position control.
For those using the current version of the Jaws script, the
keystroke to read the audio position does not work with the
release candidate.
It would be good if some of you could give this release
candidate some testing,
David.
