skype scripts not working
|
Gary Jackson
All,
skype was working fine a couple hours ago but now I can't get to recent conversations. I'm using version 8.77.0.97 and jaws 2021. The alt + 1 keystroke, for instance, does nothing. Any ideas? Gary

This is most curious and a bit concerning. I have received one other report of the Alt+1 issue in Skype 8.77; but I recently installed 8.77 myself and I am not able to reproduce that issue. Alt+1 works

for me as long as there is not a group chat currently on screen. I am using the default Skype view, where chats appear inside the main window. Let me know if you are trying to do this in split view where the chats are in separate windows. I don't know if Alt+1 ever worked from a separate window to jump back to the main one.

Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I just tried the keystroke after making sure Skype was only showing in one window. It didn't work. To see the chats, I have to go to Chats and route Jaws to PC, then go down to the bottom of the list that displays and route PC to Jaws. Alan

It was working just a couple of hours ago in split view, always has. I tried turning off split view with the same results. I just installed the latest, revision, 203, of the scripts.

Hi guys, yes I noticed that too but I didn't know about scripts revision 203, so I was using 197, but I don't think I'll fix it by installing 203.
Doug, if you're using Skype 8.77, also verify the exact version number, considering that with 8.77.0.90 it worked ok, it began happening on 8.77.0.97. Effectively, when there aren't missed calls in reunion or something else, it works ok. BTW, the alternative is to re-activate virtual cursor, and in this case you don't need to route JAWS to pc. Bye!

My exact version number, where Alt+1 works as expected, is 8.77.00.97.

I just retested while making sure I'm using script revision 203. JAWS 2021. No problems. I'll probably get to a test under 2022 today or tomorrow. Again though, Alt+1 is known to fail when a group chat is on screen, even under older Skype versions. That is on my list to examine. For now, I work around it by typing Ctrl+Tab until I have switched to a non-group chat so that Alt+1 can work again.

Forgot to mention, I am using Split view mode as well. I am still with JAWS 2021, for the moment I don't think I can upgrade to 2022.

Ah, Alt+1 from a split-view chat window will not bring you back to the main window. I don't think that ever worked in Skype 8.x. I'm guessing it would be difficult to implement that in an Electron app.

Alt+1 only works in the main window.

Hi Stewart,
Split view is a mode where chat windows are separate by the main Skype window. Concerning JAWS 2019, I think it will work, though latest scripts revision increased the minimum JAWS version supported. I think the earliest supported version is 2018 rather than 17.0. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

Split view makes chat windows appear as separate windows when you use Alt+Tab. It is turned on and off from the menu that appears when you press Space on the "More options" button that you reach with

the Tab key after you pass the Mood Message button.

What happens is that when there are some important notifications we need to use JAWS to pc or re-activate pc cursor. By important notifications I mean for example that a reunion is ongoing. Let me know if I need to organize myself in order to make a sort of audio demo for this. Bye!Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10
