Skype scripts?  For the Mac?  Huh?  What... did they... do?  I mean, Skype 
works really really quite well as is out of the box! in my opinion at least.

Hey Chris,
There were Skype apple scripts to answer calls, hang up, set status's while not 
in the window, very useful.

Hi Chrism
To be honest I can't remember where I got them, I'm pretty sure they were from 
here.
It was a folder with about 12 or so scripts. and you just installed them with 
the keyboard commander.

Re: Skype apple scripts

2013-05-11 Thread Alex Hall
I don't have them, but I just did a search for "skype apple scripts" and got a 
bunch of hits. If you're looking to do something specific, I'm sure you can 
just google the script and find it hanging out somewhere. To assign them to 
keyboard or trackpad commands, either use the keyboard shortcuts tab in the 
keyboard section of System Preferences, or use commanders in the VO Utility.

Re: Skype Apple Scripts

2013-05-28 Thread Alex Hall
I don't know if Skype handles this differently, so disregard my message if 
someone else comes along and tells me I'm totally wrong. 

That said, here are my thoughts:
1. Put the scripts wherever you want them. You'll assign them to keyboard 
shortcuts anyway, so organizing is simply personal preference since you can 
browse for them when you assign the key commands. Putting them in 
/library/scripts/VoiceOver is helpful only in that VO opens to that location by 
default when you assign a script to a commander shortcut.

2. Yes, you'd assign the scripts to services, then put a shortcut on that 
service. I believe you'd make the service specific to Skype, or global, 
depending on the behavior you want. Personally, I'd make most of the scripts 
global services, so that their keyboard shortcuts work in any application. 
Setting them to Skype only will make the keyboard shortcuts only activate the 
scripts when Skype is open, negating the handy effects of some of them (for 
instance, you'd have to switch to Skype to answer or end a call, instead of 
invoking that functionality from anywhere). If you assign the scripts to VO 
commanders, they are, of course, global.

3. You can also add them to either /library/scripts, or ~/library/scripts (in a 
subfolder if you like), then enable the scripting menu. Once enabled, this menu 
appears in the Extras menus and offers all the scripts stored in either scripts 
folder; pick one and press enter, and it runs. You can toggle this menu on and 
off from, oddly enough, the preferences in Applescript Editor.

Hope this helps.

Re: Skype Apple Scripts

2013-05-28 Thread Alex Hall
Yes, I did mention using commanders. Still, services will work when vo is not 
on, which may be handy for non-vo users of a mac (like family members who use 
the machine). Also, as I develop the scripts I'm making, I find myself running 
out of keyboard commander commands that make sense. Services can offload that 
work, letting you use many more possibilities since they can use any modifier, 
where the keyboard commander is limited to just an option key.

Re: Skype Apple Scripts

2013-05-28 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Fantastic, thanks for this, Alex. That all makes sense. I forgot about simply 
using keyboard commander. But I only like to use letters for keyboard commander 
located on the opposite side of the keyboard from the option key I've assigned 
to keyboard commander. Otherwise the keystrokes are awkward to execute. And 
like you I'm running out of keys to use for keyboard commander, so services 
might be the way to go.
Cheers,
Nic
