[gui-talk] Fwd: Updated JAWS scripts for Thunderbird, Firefox, and Internet Explorer

[Steve Pattison]

From: Don Moore don.moore48 at comcast.net

Scripts for Thunderbird http://EmpowermentZone.com/tb_scr.exe

or substitute the .zip extension for a manual install.

Changes in version 2.6:

Added more reliable and mnemonic support for querying message fields,
whether in a message list or body:  Alt+Shift+F for the From field,
Alt+Shift+T for the To field, Alt+Shift+C for the CC field, Alt+Shift+B 
for the BCC field, and Alt+Shift+S for the subject field.  When pressed
twice quickly, the text is copied to the clipboard.  This allows, for
example, replying directly to the sender of a list message by pressing
Alt+Shift+F twice, pressing Control+R, then pasting in the To field. Alt+0
may still be used to hear all fields at once, or display them in the
virtual viewer if pressed twice.

Added Alt+Shift+Space as a hotkey for the Web Client Utilities menu,
creating command consistency with the EdSharp text editor,
http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe

and FileDir file manager, http://EmpowermentZone.com/dirsetup.exe

Note that the 35 web client utilities are not installed with the 
Thunderbird scripts.  The scripts just make the utilities easy to access
if Thunderbird is the active application.  The web client utilities may
be installed with the scripts for Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Fixed compatibility of the script installer with 64-bit Windows 7.

An audio tutorial on Thunderbird has been done by Raul Gallegos of GW 
Micro, and is available at

Scripts for Firefox http://EmpowermentZone.com/FxMax.exe

and Internet Explorer http://EmpowermentZone.com/IEMax.exe

or .zip for a manual install.

Changes in version 1.3:

Made miscellaneous bug fixes to the routines in the Homer script component
(Homer.wsc), which is also separately available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/HomerJax.zip

Changed logic to load that component only once, rather than loading or
unloading it each time the browser is activated or deactivated.  This 
should minimize the situations that have resulted in the message "Error
loading Homer COM object!"

Made changes to help ensure that all keys defined in the browser scripts 
by Freedom Scientific are supported, e.g., JAWSKey+F8 to read the IE
toolbar.
Made the Copy All and Read All commands, Control+F8 and Alt+F8, operate on
the browser's textual view of the page, rather than on the screen reader's
virtual view, thus eliminating meta data like "list of 5 items."

Included the latest, 35 web client utilities with various fixes and
enhancements, a collection that is also separately available with the InPy
custom Python interpreter, http://EmpowermentZone.com/InPy.zip

Added Alt+Shift+Space as a hotkey for the Web Client Utilities menu,
creating command consistency with other applications and script sets that
also use these utilities.

Fixed compatibility of the script installer with 64-bit Windows 7.
