because there are quite a few of them that new users are not going to use. lets take the window-eyes scripting framework script for example. most users are not going to use that. another example along this vain is the window tree view script. the im window script. some people may or may not want we sounds for example. so the scripts they include should enhance the feature set of window-eyes and still offer choice to the user. hotspot is one of these types of scripts. I am going to argue once again for gw micro including some 3rd party scripts. these will include install packages. this will provide the new user a means of getting more scripts with out knowing or caring how to deal with sc. focus controls. activate window. these scripts go a long way at times to make programs that are not accessible with out them accessible. elaquence fix. this script will avoid crashes with elaquence. so it should be installed buy default so once again the user has this protection in place. everything else we can get from the install packages witch as I said should be included with window-eyes.

They're all useful, and why make users go get them? And of course, including them helps new users who may be unfamiliar with SC.

I agree 100%. There is more power here than folks can imagine. This should definitely be included in the factory scripts. I'll give an example that I just put together in less than 3 minutes. If you use Outlook 2007, you will know how annoying it is to read an html message. For best results one has to tell Outlook to open the message in your browser. This is normally accomplished by doing the following key sequence. Alt-h then x then v. I just solved my problem by creating a new HotSpot definition that I assigned to Windows o. 1. Make sure you are in Outlook 2007 with an html message open. 2. Bring up the new hotspot dialog, default key is alt control p. 3. Give it a name, I called it "Open in browser". 4. Assign this definition to a key, I used Windows o. 5. Tab over to add action and press enter. 6. Choose insert key from the list of actions and press enter. 7. You will be in a dialog you are used to seeing when defining a new hotkey. Press alt c to capture the keystroke and when prompted to type the key, hit alt h. 8. Repeat the same thing to add x and v as insert key actions. 9. Tab over to add and hit enter. 10. You're done so test it out by hitting Windows o or whatever key you decided to assign this definition to. The html message should now open into your browser with just one keystroke. This works on my system but you may need to tweak this to work on yours by possibly adding a couple of delays. I didn't need to do that however. Within the new hotspot dialog you probably noticed some other edit boxes and buttons that deal with the mouse position. For this example, those can be ignored because this HotSpot does absolutely nothing with the mouse pointer. That in fact, is part of the point of this message. Although HotSpot was originally created to do things with the mouse, that is no longer the case. HotSpot 3.0 goes way beyond that now and gives us a whole lot of power in one easy to use script. Those of us that are not scripters can really do some cool stuff now beyond what was possible with set files. Also, if you are an Adaptive Technology Consultant and have run into situations where set files wouldn't cut it, try using HotSpot 3.0 to possibly create a solution before trying to get a script written. You might be pleasantly surprised. --Regards, --Rick alfaro [email protected] From: Vic Beckley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: hotspot 3.0 is majorlly cool. Aaron, I second the thought that Hot Spot should be included by default with Window-Eyes 7.2. It is one of the most impressive scripts to date! Vic From: Aaron Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 3:47 PM Cc: gw-info; [email protected] Subject: Re: hotspot 3.0 is majorlly cool. Jim, Glad to hear you're having success with HotSpot. To address your issues: 1. Key Describer - That was an oversight on my part. I'll get that fixed. 2. Old HotSpots - Correct. They don't port over. I mention that in the package information dialog during the installation. It seemed to me that it was more work that necessary since I don't think this script was used by that many people in past versions. 3. Adding Actions while Adding HotSpots - You should definitely be able to add actions when adding a HotSpot, as that's how I did all my testing. Can you give me any more detail? Thanks for the feedback.
