Re: Problem with latest JAWS update and Skype 8 Electron

Due to problems with setting focus directly to the history list or one of its entries, I implemented the Command h sequence as a focus to one control followed by Tab or Shift+Tab simulations, depending on script version, to
reach the history list. This discussion tells me that the structure of that part of the Skype window is probably inconsistent across machines even with the same Skype version, which probably means that controls can appear or
disappear depending on other factors on each machine. This might be a hard one to solve for every case, but I obviously would like to do that if possible.

hi doug and all

i'm running exactly the same as doug, however, when I press command h
it takes me to the sign out option and not chat history. this also
happens if I type command t.

is on a Windows10 pro machine along with the latest updates for Skype and
JAWS2019.

I just end up shift tabbing to the history.

I found a private chat in my history and find that [ h works fine with it.
JAWS 2019, Skype 8.42.0.60. I'm running a newer Skype revision but with no
changes to the code for that command.

Anyone else out there have trouble with [ h in private, i.e., end-to-end
encrypted chats?

I lost the history of this thread, so pardon me if I'm asking anything you
already answered.

What version number do you get when you type Ctrl+JAWSKey+V from within
Skype?

Also, what type of conversation do you see this problem in? Possible types
include a standard Skype chat, a private Skype chat, and an SMS text chat.

Ah ok, I got wrong then. I though you were pressing a t which was not
the case.
When you press the Skype command key, do you hear "Skype"? If not, make
sure the scripts are loaded correctly by pressing insert+q from within
Skype. If you don't hear a revision number, the scripts are not loaded
correctly.
