Nice, but wish was a program not accessible ..
Don't over complicate what is already simple, like the saying Keep It
Simple Stupid, KISS.

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. If you
have any questions, comments, or feedback, don't hesitate to let me
know. My e-mail address is: [email protected]
