Thanks for your suggestion. When scrolling the WE Script manual, I found the
InsertKey, that you suggested, but also found the InsertString, which seemed
better. This due to the fact, I want to send a string to the keyboard. So, I
edited my script, and it now reads the following. But when pressing the hotkey,
I get the speech, then an error message, which I have quoted below:
dim MyHotkey1 : Set myHotkey1 = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control-q", "NextItem")
Set KB = Keyboard
sub NextItem()
Speak "Next Item"
KB.InsertString( "tll" )
end sub ' NextItem
' error message:
type mismatch: 'InsertString'

what does the error message say?
have you also tried using the InsertKeys method of the Keyboard object?

Hi,
I am trying to write a script. The following code should press the
keysequence
tll
for me, whenever the hotkey is pressed. But all that I get, is an error
message for the line, which I have marked with (*). In other words, the (*)
itself, does not apper in the code...
dim MyHotkey1 : Set myHotkey1 = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("Control--Shift-A",
"NextItem")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sub NextItem()
Speak "Next Item"
(*)WShShell.SendKeys "tll"
end sub 'NextItem
