Hi Brandon,
As Robin mentioned, the hotspot will do what you need if the button you
need to press is always in the same spot.
please note that you need someone with vision to put the mouse on the
button you need to be clicked.
To create the hotspot do the following:
press control alt p
give it a name
press alt and the letter c
now press the hot keys you want to run the macro
for example control 1 or control p
now press alt a
press end key and arrow up to set mouse
now have someone place the mouse where it belongs to click what you need
now press alt u
now tab to
ok
then enter
now press alt a
and enter
press s and page down like four times until you hear single left mouse
click and enter
now tab to ok or finish then enter
and you should be good to go.
Now when you need to press that button just press your hot-key and it
will press the button.
Good luck,
Manny

Brandon,
Still learning the hot spot app myself, but wonder if your wife can tell
you if the button always appears on the same spot on the screen. My
thought is that, I believe there is a mouse cursoring option that allows
you to move to a specific X,Y coordinate on the physical screen, so maybe
doing so would allow you to put the mouse pointer in the same place each
time. If that works, you could memorize that as a hotspot macros. Just
ideas I have from listening to the hot spot and the mouse navigation
webinars from GW, but I'm not savvy enough to put them into action.

Subject: The Hotspot app
Hello everyone, I've got what I hope is a relatively simple question for
any of you who are proficient at working with the Window-eyes Hotspot app.
Can you use it to mark and then later return to a graphical element on a
webpage? Here's what I'd like to be able to do. There's a button used to
post comments on this wall portion of a website that I'm a member of.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to tab to this button, nor is it
possible to use Window-eyes' mouse hotkeys in any sort of readily apparent
manner to get at it. Fortunately, my wife is sighted, so because of her
working with me I know that it is of course in actuality indeed possible
to get the mouse pointer to the button I need to be able to click using
the mouse up, down, left and right hotkeys. However, even when the button
is reached, Window-eyes just announces something that is for all intense
and purposes practically meaningless, like the X-Y coordinates of the
button, or some other type of pointer reference location that sounds to me
like gobbledygook. The actual button itself visually says "post comment"!
Haha, so anyway, I got to thinking, well, ok, I'll just try setting up a
Window-eyes hotspot there. Well, sadly, even when I stay on the site and
simply navigate to a different place on the page, and then try to use the
hotspot, it doesn't work. Dad gum it, thoughts? Can the Hotspot app only
be used on textual elements? If so, can any of you think of any other
solutions I could try? The virtualView app perhaps? Well, on second
thought, the thing is, I'm trying to use Window-eyes to activate a
graphical button that cannot independently be accessibly focused upon
using the tab, arrow keys, or any mouse hotkeys that I know of save the
ones I've already mentioned. Thoughts? The sites' support team are both
cordial and pretty responsive, even if clueless about assistive
technology. If there's something I could ask them to change about the HTML
code itself to make this button able to be given focus using the keyboard,
do any of you know what that would be technically referred to as?
