a script's question

Alexandre Alves Toco
 

Hello!

Wen we press the arrow up key in a text field, nvda will read the new line's content.

So I assume there is an script that is started by this key press.

Now, how do I manage to write a arrow up key script and make nvda to say a text and continue to do exactly what it did before I wrote my script?

I want to use it for some tests.


So my general questions are:

1. how can I know what script is performed when a key press or an event occur if no custon scripts are installed?

2. Is it possible to write a custom scritp and call the original one inside it?

Hello Alexandre,

Very good questions. I'm very interested in the answers, too.

But maybe the nvda-devel list (nvda-devel@groups.io) is better suited for such questions. I'm redirecting it there, I hope that's the right thing to do. I'm keeping you in the cc, I hope this works.

Regards, Martin.

Hi Alexandre!


That question is more suited to add-ons or development list...


I think you need to make a function bind to the arrow key where first is executed your code and then you send the keystroke to the system...
