I was aware of programs that do that kind of thing. I have never used such
an animal but it is good to know that they are out there if the need arises.
They enter blocks of text and lots of other things preprogrammed in to their
respective memory. Thank you for giving me another title to add to my list
of tools I keep for future needs.

Hello David and all:
I don't know if you are familiar with Auto Hot Key, but it is a free program
that enables you to assing hot keys to just about anything, including being
able to paste blocks of text that are repetitive just about anywhere. It is
accessible with Jaws, works off a text file which you can prepare using a
text editor, but it takes a bit of a learning curve. I use it daily since
quite a while ago, it allows me, for instance, to assign Alt-Windows-O to
open Outlook from the Run menu without add-ons, or assign a combination of
six leeters that do not form a word to a few paragraphs of repetitive text,
which I can then paste on an email, document or elsewhere by just typing the
six letters and the space bar.
Just an idea for those that may want to look into it.
Regards,
Humberto

Subject: [JAWS-Users] scripting for keyboards with only a single windows key
First of all before anybody makes a comment there is no such thing as a
married windows key, LOL. So now that the silliness is out of the way here
is the purpose of this message.
My wireless keyboard has only a left handed windows key, but most of the
time if I am on another system that has a right handed windows key I will
use it for most of what I need to do. I can use the left key good enough but
it crossed my mind this afternoon that with a script it might bebe possible
to simulate such an animal assigning say control + R which so far as I am
aware is an unused keystroke. The same with control + E. So I wrote two
scripts to do the following functions. Open up the run dialog and open up
windows explorer.
This inspiration came to me from Mr. Mike, because he sent me a script last
evening that triggered this bit of creativity.
I’ll probably post them on the server this evening and maybe a recording
demo of the process if there is any interest out among you folks.
