Hi David,
I am making Announce Position and motion preview independent of Announce
Messages. This turned out to be simpler than I thought, although in my
test version forward motion has stopped working. There must be some
subtle change which I am trying to track down.
The JAWSKey+p is supposed to toggle between motion previewing only and
settings of the quick settings. If Announce Position is on and Motion
Preview is off both will be toggled. If Announce Position is off and
Motion Preview is on it has no effect. If both are on then Announce
Position will be toggled off. The idea is that if you have Announce
Position on you can quickly hear just the motion preview without the
position announcement and then switch back to your "standard" settings.

Hi Gary,
I find these Audacity settings confusing. The announce Audacity toolbars setting is independent of the Announce audacity messages setting. But for both Announce position and preview motion, checking them only has any effect if Announce audacity messages is checked.
Also Jawskey+p is meant to "temporarily toggle between speaking the position and playing audio" but does not do so.
David.

Hi David,
Thanks for testing! Is Announce Audacity Messages on? Maybe
cursor motion should not be controlled by Announce Messages any
more since it now has its own option. I can't remember right now
what it would take to change that. I had all the speech going
through a single path so that I wouldn't miss any messages :-).

Hi Gary,
I've just done some testing of your script, and the only problem
I've found so far is the the two options announce position and
preview motion don't seem to have any effect. That is, if the
focus is a track and I move the cursor using, for example,
left/right arrow, then nothing is spoken or played. I'm using
windows 10 1709, and Jaws 2018.1802.78.
Apart from that, the script works well, and I thought that the
readme was very well written,
David.

Hi,
I just posted a new release candidate of the script. The
installer is here
<https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/releases/download/rel2.2.0-rc.1/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity_2_2_0-rc1.exe>.
The source is on the |next|
<https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/tree/next>
branch.
It is intended that this will become the 2.2.0 release
(except for an update to the German README) in a week or so
if there aren't problem reports.
New in this release:
-If we can't get the position field via GetWindowText we try
to get it with MSAA. This doesn't get the letters and period,
but it does get something when we used to get an error.
- You can now choose to compile scripts with either
JAWSUtil.vbs (default), scompile directly, or not to compile
at all. To not use JAWSUtil.vbs, on the installer command
line, include the /compile=s switch. /compile=n will suppress
compilation of scripts.
- Keys to move current track to marked track and exchange
current track with marked track now remain in the Audacity
key layer. This allows moving several consecutive tracks
more easily.
- Added JAWSKey+a&SPACE as an alias for JAWS+a&k (mark
current track).
- Changed copyright (in message in audacity.jss and
installer) to 2018.
This works with Audacity 2.2.2-rc.1 release.
The following has not been tested and needs to be:
* Install to shared scripts.
* Install via non-admin account.
* Just Scripts install.
* Probably more corner cases with installs.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I'm still looking for someone that can tell me how a compile
with JAWS 10 goes.
Feedback/suggestions appreciated!
Gary
