Dave: Are you going to put something up on the script page with instruction on how to use it?

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. -----Original Message----- From: Humberto Rodriguez Sent: Friday, March 10, 2017 8:48 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] scripting for keyboards with only a single windowskey 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.

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.
