As many of you know we created the Word Accent script to allow you to
enter accented characters in Microsoft Word. This was to get around a
bug within Word that our enhanced Word support brings out which blocks
the normal Word functionality. After announcing this script some time
ago we were asked if the script could be made to work with any
application. I'm happy to report we just put up version 1.4 of the Word
Accent script which is now a global script and can be used in any
control which has a cursor. This basically means if you can type in
text you can use this script to enter accented characters. If you are a
person who needs to enter accented characters in Word or any other
application you may want to consider this updated version. This updated
version does require Window-Eyes 7.11. The script help is as follows:
This global script allows you to enter diacritical marks in any control
with a cursor. The process is based on Microsoft Word. There are nine
hotkeys by default allowing you to insert nine types of accented
characters. Although all nine keys can be defined to your choice of
keystrokes, the following are defined by default:
Pressing control-accent grave followed by a lower or upper case vowel
will create the vowel with an accent grave.
Pressing control-apostrophe followed by a lower or upper vowel or y will
create the character with an acute accent.
Pressing control-shift-caret followed by a lower or upper case vowel
will create the vowel with a circumflex.
Pressing control-shift-tilde followed by lower or upper a, o or n will
create the character with a tilde.
Pressing control-shift-colon followed by a lower or upper vowel or y
will create the character with an umlaut.
Pressing control-shift-at sign followed by a lower or upper a will
create the a with a ring above.
Pressing control-shift-ampersand followed by a lower or upper a or o
will create æ and oe follow it with an s to get a ß.
Pressing control-comma followed by a lower or upper c will create a cedilla.
Pressing control-apostrophe followed by a lower or upper d will create a
slashed o.
