Hello Jamal. So to make sure I understand what you are saying, if
Window-Eyes sees the character or word first, then your script works.
But if the osm is torked to the point that pressing the cursor or word
hot key is not even reading that, then the script us useless then?
I just want to make sure because this script idea sounds good for buggy
osm issues in some areas such as Vista and a certain combination of
situations where edit boxes provide almost nothing but dinging when
arrowing through characters and pressing character or word hot keys
doesn't even work right.

Hi Darrell,
Yes -- as documented -- the script currently applies only to
hotkeys that read the current character, word, or line in either an Edit
or RichEdit control. Cursoring keys such as Backspace or Delete are not
affected. I agree that would be a desirable enhancement, but technically
it is more challenging. The reason is that the API lets a script inject
itself into hotkey actions but not cursoring key actions at this time.

Hello again Jamal,
Hmm. Do I understand correctly that this script may not apply to use of keys
like backspace and delete? Perhaps, that's my issue here... :-) If this is
the case, you may want to consider making this clear in the script's
documentation.

Hello Jamal,
In which editing situations is this script supposed to work? I'm writing a
message in Outlook Express right now, and several OSM related editing
problems I've previously reported still exist. Does it just not yet work in
this particular editing control? The potential for this script is quite
exciting, indeed, as editing problems associated with the OSM are annoying
to say the least.

Direct Text 1.0
When focus is in an Edit or RichEdit control, this script causes the
Window-Eyes hotkeys for reading the cursor character, word, or line to
obtain text directly from the control rather than from the off screen
model. To toggle off this direct reading, press Alt-Insert-D. Note that
cursor keys that read text after navigation will still use the off screen
model.
This global script requires GW Toolkit.
