<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I haven't used ahk that way yet, but for quickly
navigating between lots of sliders and knobs, like v1. and p1. in sessiondrummer
3,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>or going thr. for threshold or rat. for ratio on a
compressor, that sort of logical quick jump thing it's just so
narley.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But it'll take a real programmer to get the
functionallity out of it your nifty hsc does with a wizzard style input
thing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But the good thing about ahk too is you can use
parts of code over and over again and fill in the blanks, like if you get a nemu
section or title section made, just change the relevant values and you have a
new script already to go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And hooking it up to an application is
easy/.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So each has it's glory, and combining them
correctly is the way to go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I only chose ahk because it wouldn't tie folks to
jaws, but I do use hsc a lot most of my students use that and hsc is probably
the best helper tool to ever hit our community aside from screen-readers
themselves.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Chriss, thanks for that
snip.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The number 2 in </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>SetTitleMatchMode 2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>means that, when it looks for a title match,
the one it finds just needs to contain the one you specify somewhere
inside it. It doesn't have to start with that. 1 means it must
start with what you specify. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, I think there is one, and only one,
active window at a time, and it is the highest level window containing the
control with focus at the moment. And that wil be your reference for
all coordinates.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's a great little program, and I'll add it
to my arsonal, long over due. But, there has been a bit of
chatter about HSC versus AHK, and, after looking at it a bit, I
think they are two different animals, with two different primary missions,
with some overlap. AHK is a good tool for folks who don't have JAWS
available to them. And, I can think of several ways I can make good
use of it personally. But, unless you get pretty clever in your
color searching, you will have a hard time using AHK with things that move
around inside an application, or other active window. Still, that
image search capability is pretty tantalizing. I hope it's
reasonably responsive. I'm looking toward some relationship
where HSC can use AHK to do the things HSC isn't good at.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, at the end of the day, you can't beat
using a program's object model, or API, to get at stuff. It is going
to be much faster, and more accurate, more stable, less dependent on color
schemes, screen resolution, and all those other visual vagaries that drive
us nuts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Most of all, speed. I don't know about
you guys, but I want my DAW to be snappy, and fast, reapeatable and
reliable. And these digital methods are the only interfaces that can
provide that. We use these other tools when we have
too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's better than nothing.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>More about the AHK coordinates provided
by a drying out David P Shortland from the Sunshine
Coast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>AHK uses window-relative coords by
default, but they are relative to the "active" window", or what some
people call the foreground window.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In this case, they are relative to the
top left corner of the Reaper application. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Once I use that window as a
reference, I got this to work. I got the context menu that
starts with input monitoring. but I had to do right click, not
left click. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That didn't surprise me, except that his
script said "click" and only provided coords, which is, as I read the
AHK document, a left click by default.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So anyway, Not sure about why
that is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, that is what AHK does. It
apparently can not use smaller child windows as a reference, but uses
absolute screen coordinates, or application-relative coords, depending
on the CoordMode command, application relative by
default.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>AHK is a pretty interesting program, and
it seems to be focused more on automating user tasks from the
standpoint of a user manipulating multiple applications and perhaps
less on working inside of an app. Not sure yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Naturally, I'm interested in learning
more about what it can do. Maybe it can correct my incessant
typing errors, turning, teh, into, the, and smae into
same. That would be nice. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Perhaps the most interesting part was the
ability to search for an image, including the ability to allow a
measured amount of forgiveness on </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>color
matches. You can do that forgiveness thing on single pixel color
searches too. Basically, you provide it with a .GIF, or .ICO, or
any of several file formats that contain the image or icon you
are looking for, tell it a region to search, and it pokes around
looking for it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I suspect that is a noticeably slow
process, because they suggest ways to try to speed it up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And, I'm not currently quite sure how we
will identify the images to search for. We've got a boot strap
problem there. I am class A stupid as a windows
programmer. So, I'm more than a little behind the curve.
but, the doc suggests you can often extract the icon images right out
of the program itself. Yeah, go find that
one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, how you actually do that is, so far,
less clear.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I wonder if there is a way to gen up a
little utility that lets a sightling click the mouse at the top left,
and bottom right corners of an image of interest, and have the utility
save that image as something we could then use AHK, or other equally
equipped tool, to look for.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think I have a sighted programmer who
is interested enough in this stuff to help see if that can be
done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I shall pursue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, David, thanks for breaking the
ice. I have needed to check this out for some time, but just
haven't gotten around to it. Their web site is wonderfully
accessible. Very nice.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<DIV>Hi & Greetings from a drying out Sunshine Coast</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thought I would share this with anyone who may be
interested</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I am charting my way thru the Help files of AutoHotKey
and learning to Script this and that, well mainly for Omnisphere at
present, here are a couple of co-ordinates that may be of
helpin REAPER, with regards to a Certain Menu not opening with
Apps Key & Up Arrow key</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These co-ordinates will give access to a menu that will be
spoken and contains settings for Audio & MIDI Inputs &
Outputs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>136, 176 is for Trak 1</DIV>
<DIV>136, 276 is for Trak 2</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now for those of us who may be a little apprehensive in trying
to write a script to access these co-ordinates,here its is...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Open up Notepad and type these lines as is, or just copy them
across..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Numpad9 & Numpad1:: Click 136, 176</DIV>
<DIV>Numpad9 & Numpad2:: Click 136, 276</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Save this document as AutoHotKey.ahk</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Go to the directory where you just saved that script</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Double Click on the file and it should ask you with what file
do you wish to run the program?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Navigate to AutoHotKey and voila ... all should be good</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Okay, just remember that the resolution on my System is 768 x
1024 , so one can deduce that if your resolution is different the
co-ordinates will not match.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now all you have to do when REAPER is open and you have several
tracks in place</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Press Numpad9 (hold it down and Press Numpad1 the Menu should
open, make yourselections</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Remember that this combination is for Trak 1.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have also used the Numpad as ReaAccess and REAPER use a lot
of keyboard combinations and this should not interfere.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh yes... DO NOT forget to press the NumLock .. it must be
ON!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have only given the co-ordinates for two trax, because I
figure if you want to set up several combinations of In & Outs,
just coply one of the tracks to another place.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Hopefully all will go smoothly... if not...I have left the
country and gone into hiding...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take care all</DIV>
