I believe you're asking for a way to automate the generation of script
code. There's no API for that, but you could (as you said) generate
jss text yourself and then compile. The SCompile utility would be the
way to go for compiling under those conditions. There are two ways to
use it:
scompile myfile.jss
scompile -d myfile.jss
In the first example, all files including myfile.jss must be in the
active JAWS version's settings/enu folder, and the jsb file generated
goes there as well. This works much like the regular Script Manager,
getting default files from the shared folder as needed without you
having to put them anywhere yourself.
In the second example, myfile.jss and all files required for
compilation must be in the current folder active when you run the
command. This includes all files Included by myfile.jss, all files
included by those files, all files Included by those, etc. It also
includes the jsd files for all files Used by myfile.jss or by anything
recursively as for Includes. Finally, it also includes builtin.jsd and
default.jsd from the shared folder. (I may not have this precisely
correct by now as I haven't messed with using SCompile that way for
quite a while.)
So usually, unless you have special circumstances, you'd want to use
SCompile without the -d flag I think.
The SCompile utility for a JAWS version is in its program folder;
e.g., C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\16.0\SCompile.exe.
You'll have to use a path when running it most likely, since it won't
be on the PATH.

Hello,
Is there an API for JAWS that allows adding scripts and functions in the .jss
file for a specified program, or in default.jss, adding hotkeys for specified
scripts, and doing other script settings that can be done manually using the
Script Manager, Keyboard Manager etc?
Or the single way is to edit the script files directly and then compile them?
