Good catch, Steve. That's right. Be it that these are cursor keys as opposed to hot keys the program will receive them and Window-Eyes will try to do what they're assigned to do. In this case, speak highlighted text. Out of curiosity I just tried Shift-Left and Right arrows in my Thunderbird inbox and nothing was voiced. So this just might be an easy way out.

Dave,

You can open the Window-Eyes control panel and go to general, Core
Functions, and turn Cursor keys on and off.
Otherwise a hot key would have to be scripted to toggle this setting.

Alternatively you could associate a set file with each of these programs
and undefine the Shift-Arrow cursor keys if they're not used by the
program for standard selection. And if they are used in an edit window
and the title or class are different for the two windows you could
associate a set file with the window within which you don't want those
cursor keys and undefine them within that file.

Hth,
Tom

Hi. Is it possible to tell window-eyes to bypass a series of keystrokes
instead of just one at a time? I have some programs, outliners, that use
shift and arrows to move things around, but have to press the bypass key
each time. Can I just suspend hotkeys for a time?
thanks, dave
