Greetings y'all, The help doc indicates that the Editor can assist with syntax, command selection and pin point errors. I have not yet determined how to exploit these features with VoiceOver.
First, I mistakenly thought the command was "display prompt", and when it was not recognized, went looking for a list of available commands. As I used the VO+arrow keys to treverse the window, I only saw a pop up button where the only available choices appeared to be to tell the current application or 24 other possible applications. VO+right arrowing from there shows an empty list of elements. Is there a way to browse available commands and have your selection entered into the source, or is it necessary to keep the AppleScript reference handy? Next, I attempted to run the following script: set MyText = "hello world" display dialog MyText resulting in the following: Syntax Error A end of line can’t go after this “"”. OKay default button. When I changed line 1 to: "set MyText to "hello world" it presented the expected dialog box, but I could not determine whether it was complaining about the first or second line,, and it wouldn't seem likely that it was treating my first attempt as a one liner with a continuation character? In a two line script, debugging wasn't to difficult, but in the case of a longer one, it would be nice to know exactly where the compiler puked. Finally, I opened the voiceOver dictionary and perused the HTML page showing available objects and commands. Is there a way to select commands from app dictionaries, or is it necessary to manually cut/paste? TIA for any suggestions or pointers to information about using the script editor with VO.
