There is an issue in JAWS that sometimes requires a JAWS restart after a script installation before the scripts will load. I forgot about this when I wrote you earlier. The technical issue is that cha

If Sarah's suggestion doesn't help, type Ctrl+JAWSKey+v in the Skype window and tell me what app name and version number come back.

That makes sense; in split view, these announcements, even the right ones, are not likely to happen as Skype is currently written.

The "File sent" issue has been reported to Microsoft, by me and surely several others. It is a bug in Skype itself and occurs with or without scripts, and probably also in NVDA though I did not verify

When I launched Skype 8.51.0.92 this morning, I heard that I had one notification. I dutifully wandered off to the Notifications tab and found a notification that said "Introducing Split View Mode," o

Answering a couple questions asked in various places: If you find an slman.jcf file in your JAWS user folder, it is safe and perhaps wise to delete it. The revision 129 shown in the installer and by I

Yes; browser download cache perhaps.

I don't know why you would get vevision 121; the file posted on my site is updated. However, due to my haste at releasing, the recorded revision number in the installer and for Insert+Q for this revis

In the Q&A message I posted earlier today, also quoted below, I mentioned that I needed to address the problem of user changes to the Command key landing in the wrong file. I have now done this, and p

This is my attempt to address several questions and concerns expressed both on and off this list regarding Skype 8.51 and/or my scripts for it. This message covers Skype 8.51, the JAWS scripts for Sky

The "message sent" notification is sent to a list control in the main Skype window. In normal view, that is in focus; so JAWS speaks it. I'm betting that JAWS ignores it in split view because it is us

I have released an update to the Skype 8 scripts to make JAWS name the split-view chat windows including online status and/or mood text, as is already done for conversations displayed inside the main

In the line Index=skypeelectron, there needs to be no spaces. "skypeelectron" is written as one word. That will probably make things work as intended.

Not sure why you say it's bad news. I'm saying most things can work under older JAWS versions if you update ConfigNames.ini as I described. The one thing I'm not sure I can address for older JAWS vers

I now have Skype 8.51.0.86 running in Split View mode. I do not have the latest August update to JAWS 2019 installed yet. This message will provide information on using this new mode with my existing

Does Insert+Q in a chat window say Revision... or Chrome?

Aha! I had not looked in the right place since upgrading, largely because I was told the feature was not in my build lol. In any case, just one scant minute ago, I got Split View activated over here.

I will want to look at supporting split-view mode; but as it is in an Insider version only, I currently don't have it to test. To address a remark in a related email: "Compact List mode" is something

I finally got Skype 8.51 onto my laptop, which allowed me to work out the following trick for using my scripts without installing the JAWS 2019 August update. Note that because the scripts do not load

I'm a bit reluctant to reply to this, but I will... The word "refused" in your post is probably a rough translation and not intended as a statement that I was unwilling to help you. Just in case of an
