Re-reading this, I see you might be left with the issue of having an
invalid
entry in the kblayout.ini file if the script is unloaded. Not sure
how you
would deal with that. Then again, I'm not the programmer so I'll bet
you
could think of something. (lol)

Jamal,
It just occurred to me that you might be able to use the keyboard layout
menu so that users don't have to worry about running text to set
manually.
Doug, please correct me if I am wrong, but as I recall, we have the
ability
to put in our own customized keyboard layouts and have them appear in
the
keyboard layout menu under keyboard in the control panel. Since you
have
the ability to manipulate ini files, you could have your script
insert your
keyboard layout into the kblayout.ini file found in the Window Eyes
program
folder usually program files\gw micro\window eyes. Then, the user would
only have to remember to choose your layout under the keyboard/keyboard
layout menu after installing your script.
Here is what my kblayout.ini file looks like.
[LAYOUTS]
&Default=default.txt
&Laptop=laptop.txt
&Vocal-Eyes=velayout.txt
&JAWS=jlayout.txt
I just recall this ability from past beta conversations, so,
hopefully, this
is still possible. If not then I have a bunch of egg on my face.
(grin)
Maybe it is more trouble than it is worth, but certainly would be
easier for
the user.
Warmest regards,
Rick Alfaro

Subject: Updated Homer Layout package
Version 0.86 beta supports cursoring in browse mode with the Numpad
keys.
An exception is Control-Left Arrow and Control-Right Arrow, which are
not
reading by word, for some reason.
For anyone transitioning from JAWS to Window-Eyes who wants a consistent
keyboard interface, I encourage you to try Homer Layout and post
feedback.
I think I have replicated the main features of the JAWS keyboard
interface, including the PC versus JAWS cursor toggle, which are called
Focus versus Mouse mode in this layout. Instead of Insert-J for the
JAWS
window, use Insert-W for the Window-Eyes Control Panel. To remind
yourself of key assignments, use Insert-1 to toggle keyboard help.
If interested in trying this layout, install the package, then run
Text2Set, specifying Homer.t00 as the input file and *.0* as the output
spec. In Script Manager, press Alt-A to load HomerLayout.vbs as a
global
script. The package does not do this automatically because of the
substantial change that results in the keyboard interface.
To return to Window-Eyes defaults, press Alt-U to unload
HomerLayout.vbs.
Choose the Default layout in the Keyboard menu of the Window-Eyes
Control
Panel.
Jamal
