I tried to change up the delay time with no apparent change in behaviour.

One thing I did notice is that, when a negative number is entered, there is movement of focus. Not necessarily the movement I would expect, but movement nonetheless. No movement if a positive number is entered.

Testing with XP and J15, Win7 and Win10 with J17.

I'm testing with 4 or 5 tracks, not 50 as you suggested in a previous post.

Thanks,
d

Hi Davids,

If you're willing to hack the script for a test, open audacity.jss in Script Mangler (JAWSKey+0) and go to function NavigateTrackPanel. Around line 1609 (CTRL+g to go to a line) you will find this code:
    If iCount % 3 == 0 Then
        delay(1)
    EndIf

First, in the line If iCount % 3 == 0 Then, decrease the 3 and see what happens. (What that does is cause a delay every third keystroke.) Or increase the 1 in delay(1). (That delays .1 second.) See if one of those makes it work, and let me know the values. Of course, the more delay, the slower it executes. Just to avoid potential future confusion, go to the version constant (Const CS_SCRIPT_VERSION) around line 7 and update the date and time so it's clear that it's not the original version. Then press CTRL+s. Since you didn't make any errors, it will compile.

Oh, you might have wanted to make a backup of the file before you started-- too late now!

Thanks.

Hi Gary,
Re track movement. It prompts for a number. I've also tried with Audacity 2.1.2, Jaws 17 and Windows 10, and Insert+A,g doesn't work for me.

Re toolbar: I don't get it!  It seems like focusing is working-- when
you tab between toolbars it doesn't hit the grabber.  The code checks
for the window class of the grabber and skips it before setting focus.
I checked and the class name hasn't changed.  I'll have to look at that
closer.

Re track movement.  It works for me-- JAWS 17, Windows 10.  I would ask
if the moveTrackUp/Down keys are assigned to CONTROL+Shift+Up/DownArrow,
but you say the GoToTrack command isn't working either.  Does it prompt
for a number?

Hi Gary,
I tested some of the script using Jaws 14, and Windows 7 64bit. I came across a couple of issues:
1. The commands to to to a track by number or move the current track to a track by number didn't do anything. (JAWSKey+a, g, and JAWSKey+a, m).
2. In the toolbars, pressing ctrl+tab causes Jaws to read grabber. I'm pretty sure there's a keyboard focus issue with the grabber which is at the start of each toolbar, and that it can be fixed for the next version of Audacity.

Hi all,

I have just posted a new beta release of the JAWS script for
      Audacity.  This release features installer changes for
      multi-language support.  Currently English and Spanish are
      supported.  Silence Preview has also been updated to support
      Audacity 2.1.2.

I am particularly interested in feedback from people with
non-English JAWS installations, since I don't have access to such an
      environment.

Please note that although the installer installs and compiles the
scripts into the selected language folders, the JAWS script compiler
      always compiles the script files for the language of the
currently-running version of JAWS. Therefore, after installing you
will need to run JAWS with each of the other languages and compile
the scripts "manually". This is a kind of silly implementation but
      it's the best I've come up with so far given the way the script
      ompiler works.  I am open to any suggestions!

The script has a new home.  The script is now hosted on GitHub.  You
      can download the 2.1.0-beta3 installer here.

The installer exe for the current "official release" is also there (although not the same binary file, it should have been built from the same source and should be functionally equivalent).

You can view the latest README. (This may be newer than the one in the beta 3 release.)

Let me know how it works for you.

Thanks.

Gary
