ScriptTip#103: Getting More Feedback. When invoking one of JFW's cursor modes; InvisibleCursor(), JawsCursor(), and PcCursor(), you get the confirmation label spoken, but you sometimes have to move around to get an idea of where you are. Here is a simple trick to get more feedback as soon as the desired cursor is invoked. What it does: This tip places a call to the SayLine() function within each cursor-invoking script. It allows you to get instant feedback as to where you have been placed by that script, by immediately reading the current line! I've found it to be extremely helpful! 1) Hit Control+Shift+0 to launch the Script Manager with the default.jss script file loaded. 2) Hit Control+L to bring up a list of all the scripts and functions within this script file. 3) Hit the letter "J" to reach that section, and arrow down to "JAWSCursor" and whack Enter. 4) Hit DownArrow to reach the line that reads, "EndScript". 5) UpArrow to "EndIf", hit Home, then Enter. This will place a blank line above this particular EndIf statement. 6) UpArrow to the newly-created blank line and type the following line: SayLine() 7) Hit Control+S to compile the modified script file. 8) Hit Control+L to bring up the Script list once more, and hit the letter "P" to get to that section. 9) Arrow down to PcCursor and whack Enter. 10) Arrow down to the line that reads "EndScript". 11) Hit Home, then Enter to place a blank line above the EndScript line. 12) Arrow up to that blank line and type in the following line: SayLine() 13) Hit Control+S to compile the modified scripts. Now, recycle JFW from memory and after reloading, go into the different cursor modes and see how you like the extra feedback. Hope this helps!
