Hi Travis,
Unfortunately this process did not make any difference. I tried several
variations, and I still can't get JAWS to tell me what has been selected.
Thanks,
JR

It's been awhile since I've looked at Notepad++. But it used to be you could
fix the highlighting by setting custom highlight colors.
Select some text, move the JAWS cursor to it, and then choose Custom
Highlight Assign from the JAWSKey+F2 menu.
The basics were ok. But the auto-complete feature in Notepad++ does not work
well with screen readers.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Notepad++ selecting text
Hi all,
I'd like to start using Notepad++, but I seem to be having a problem with
JAWS speaking what I have highlighted. I'm sorry for asking on this list,
but when I ran a Google search to try to fix my problem, I came across many
pages associated with this JAWS scripting list and Notepad++, so I figured
many of you have been there done that and might be able to help. :)
Specifically, when I use the regular notepad, if I select a few words or
entire line of text by pressing Shift+End etc., jaws speaks what I've
highlighted. JAWS does not do this in Notepad++--it just says "selected."
Not knowing what has been selected in Notepad++ is troubling since I can't
efficiently edit JAWS scrips or other text files.
If anyone has any solutions I'd really appreciate any tips or tricks.
By the way, besides this highlighting problem, Notepad++ works really,
really well and fast on Windows Creators with JAWS 18 latest.
Thanks,
JR
