I would think that doing this would eliminate any feedback that JAWS provides
on the selection, has this worked for you? Several JAWS script files have
extended the functionality of F8 and/or inssert-F8 to make a more controlled
selection process. For example, I believe that in MS Word, pressing F8 twice
will select a sentence. So perhaps this could be useful to you. One feature I
have often found useful is the ability to set a mark and then select everything
from the current point to the mark.
Best wishes,

Hi all,
I'm also new to scripting and I've done a lot of Googling on this
subject. I'm still not sure if I'm doing this correctly.
I have a program where you can press and hold down the selection keys to
select portions of data. The default Jaws scripts are interfearing with
the oporation of this program. For example, it will unselect what I have
selected if I hold down Shift+arrow keys for too long. So, I created a
new user script file to pass these keystrokes directly to the program in
the hopes to bypass any further processing by Jaws.
Here's what I have in the application-specific script file:
include "hjConst.jsh"
include "hjGlobal.jsh"
include "common.jsm"
Script ExtendSelectionLeft ()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
EndScript
Script ExtendSelectionRight ()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
EndScript
Script SelectToPreviousMarker ()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
Say ("Select to previous marker", OT_Message)
EndScript
Script SelectToNextMarker ()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
Say ("Select to next marker", OT_Message)
EndScript
Script ZoomIn ()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
EndScript
Script ZoomOut ()
TypeCurrentScriptKey()
EndScript
