I completely! understand that the Sendspace wizared is already! 100% accessible, so please, dont' anyone bash me for making these scripts, OK? I know darn well! that the wizard works fine without scripts. Trust me, I'm one of the developers/beta testers, both, so I think I would know that.
OK, anyway, here is the documentation which I've written up for the scripts. If anyone wants to try these, I'd be delighted! to hear what you think. At this state, they do not do much. I'm just an infant, if you will, not even a baby, but a newborn infant, if you will, at script writing, so just know up front, I never said! this source code was going to be pretty the way I did it. I probably really went the long round about way to do a lot of things, but, the point is it works. If you all wanna modify these scripts in any form or shape, you're welcome to do so, under 2 conditions. 1. you give me credit that I wrote the scripts originally, and that your version is a modification based off my scripts. and 2. You send me a copy. OK, here is the documentation, at last. The download link is at the bottom of the documentation. I'd like to see what you all could do with these, or maybe how you all could make these scripts even better. If they become good enough, I may even request them to be published on the sendspace web site and give you credit. Don't worry, the documentation is extremely short. Here we go. Introduction Welcome to the Sendspace JAWS scripts version 1.0. These scripts were not necessarily designed to make the Sendspace wizard more accessible, for the very reason that the wizard already is 100% usable. These scripts, on the other hand, are simply designed to enhance the speech and braille feedback to make it easier to know what actions are being performed, and when. A Few Cool Things I've added Again, I state, these features were not exactly necessary to be implemented, however at the request of many of my friends, I have done so. You guies enjoy! a.. I've eliminated the really annoying problem where JAWS would infinently jabber away the currently highlighted transfer when focused in the transfers list with alt+t. b.. I set JAWS where if you hit ctrl+e to send a link to a recippient, it will focus you in the e-mail addresses text box, instead of strangely landing you on the OK button. this works both for sending folder links, as well as individual files. c.. I added the keystroke ctrl+p to bring up the Sendspace preferences. F10 still works as usual. the advantage of ctrl+p instead of F10 is I've made jaws focus you on the first control of the preferences dialog instead of strangely on the OK button. d.. I have relabeled the Escape key, so that if pressed within the wizard whilst either character echo, or character and words echo is set, jaws says: "Canceled:" instead of "Escape." Note that this won't work if you are set to echo none. e.. Thus, I have modified the configuration so that while in the wizard, you will be in character echo by default. This can be changed through the jcf file for the wizard or on the fly with jaws key+num row 2, or through the jaws verbosity options with jaws key+V. f.. In recent builds of the wizard, the ability to automatically maximize the wizard upon launch is broken. You can't even do it by setting it to run maximized from the wizard's shortcut on the desktop or start menu. I have yet to find a way to automatically correct this through a script, however, in the ming time, I have set ctrl+alt+shift+m, as in Mike, to do it for you once you're focused within the wizard. g.. I also have set, again, provided you're focused within the wizard window, alt+ctrl+shift+n, as in November, to minimize the app. Be aware that depending on how things are configured in your preferences, under the Gui Tweeks once minimized, the app may either go to your task bar, or it may go to your system tray, so check both places. Milage may vary. h.. One of the coolest things I added is the ability to right click an item within focus without needing an application's key, or using shift+F10. The main reason I did this, was just to see if I could. Surprisingly, it worked. The code may be a bit sloppy, how I did it, but the point is, it worked, none the less. When focused on an item you wish to right click, simply press the accent grave, or as some call it: grove, key. This is the key on the number's row, directly to the left of the number 1. It is right above the tab key, and just below the Escape key. Keystrokes that were already implemented, now with discription announcements As you use these keystrokes, you'll notice that jaws now tells you what they are doing when you press them. a.. alt+d=Download address bar... Only works if you are a Sendspace Max user. b.. alt+l=Local File Browser c.. Alt+r=Remote File Browser d.. alt+t=Transfers list e.. Ctrl+l=Copy link f.. Ctrl+f=Create folder g.. Ctrl+e=E-mail link h.. Ctrl+C=copy i.. Ctrl+x=Cut j.. Ctrl+v=Paste Conclusion I hope you find these scripts, at least, somewhat helpful.
