Hi Jim, There's a screen you can get to from the main window eyes control panel (under the file menu, and then under manage scripts), and it's called script manager. when you're there, you can list all the scripts you have currently running, of various types. I believe it's best to set the type of scripts to be displayed to "all, sorted by name", and you can press alt-N to choose the radio button which will do this.
Anyway, when you come into this dialog, and you set the display to all script by name, you should then be able to tab to the list of all the scripts, and up/down arrow until you find the script of interest. Now that it's highlighted, you can press alt-h to go into the help for this script. in here will be an editbox with text which describes how to use it, and usually a mention of the default value of it's hotkeys which control it. Hotkeys however can be changed for any script, so there's no guarantee this description is really accurate for the hotkeys; especially if you have had the script for a long time, and maybe you had some reason to change the hotkey at some time. so, from this help dialog there's a command button for the "hot key manager" and alt-k is it's shorcut. it takes you to a dialog which lists all the hotkeys for this script, shows you what they are currently set to, and gives you command buttons for changing them or for undefining them altogether if you have conflicts with other scripts or something. so, if the description in the help text doesn't mention what the default hotkeys are, you can always go into the hotkey manager for the script, and see what they are set to. One other complication: when I told you about going into the script manager to find the script in the list, well, it will only show up there if it's running. it won't be running if it's a script made for a particular program, and that program isn't running right then. So, if you downloaded a script for MS Word say, and Word isn't running when you go into the script manager, you won't find it in the script manager list. you'll have to start Word in that case, so you can find the script, and go into it's help dialog. If you're still reading this by now, there's one way this has been made a little easier lately: in order to keep you from having to go into the script manager, set the display radio buttons so they show all scripts, and then have you find your script in the list, GW recently added a menu in the main window eyes window, and it's called "script". most newer scripts add a menu choice for themselves to this menu, and in these submenus are usually a choice for the help dialog of the script. so, if you see a submenu for the script you're interested in, in the script menu of the main window eyes dialog, then you don't have to go into the script manager if you find a choice for "help" in it's submenu. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Jim Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 6:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: script hot key I would like to know if you download a script from the gw micro site, how do you find out what hot key is used to run the script without looking on the web site. I have downloaded some scripts but do not know what keys are used to run them. Thanks very much. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
