Hi Kevin, the hkNextLine you mention is a constant, for a possible hotkey function that window eyes is capable of performing.
As you've probably gathered from the responses to your question though, just because there's a constant for you to test with doesn't mean that this function has a key defined for it. without a defined hotkey, your test will never yield true. even if there were a hotkey defined for it, if you didn't know what it was, then your test would never yield true (I mean, suppose you thought it was down arrow, and you kept pressing that, but nothing would happen if it were really alt-period defined for the hkNextLine function). hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Simon Huber [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 6:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Onhotkey event doing funny things Hi Chip: If you go into the Scripting Manual, and look at the Onhotkey event of the Application object. Then go to the Hotkeyid link and you will find aHKNextLine. The other thing you can do is put a statment like: speak "hello" in the function, right before the If statement. That should cause Window-eyes to say "hello" when you press any hotkey, and then do what you expect that hotkey to do. This will happen with some hotkeys and not with others.
