Vertical taskbar and mouse clicking (method 2)

With the command below mouse clicks are used. Although NatSpeak macros often avoid mouse clicking, in this case they appear to be very efficient. The installing is a bit more difficult still. See below.

Also note unimacro has a grammar for this: task switching with unimacrotest.

The commands

Nearly the same commands as with the horizontal taskbar:

See FAQtest for more details about the additional command words (taskcommand list)

Installation

You need a few steps. They are not all (as easy) hands-free, and a bit of experience with the command browser is needed. And you need to the professional version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, version 8 or above.

The dll file WinKey.dll

(The command's work also without the Windows keys, but they do better if you install this file)

Download and install dll file:

• Dowload the file DNSKeys.ziptest.
• Open with winzip en un pack (DNSKeys.dll), to the problem folder of Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
• That is for example "C:\Program Files\ScanSoft\NaturallySpeaking8\Program" for version 8
• for example "C:\Program Files\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking9\Program" for version 9.
• and for example "C:\Program Files\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking10\Program" voor versie 10.
• Close winzip.

(Vista users have to save the file, and start the WinZip program in "elevated mode", or turn off UAC. Otherwise unpacking into the wanted folder will not work. Also see the unimacro page about installing on vistatest.)

Now you can use the Windows logo key in your NatSpeak macros.

The NatSpeak macros:

Download de NatSpeak task macros with mouse clicking test and import them in the command browser, "Manage", "Import".

The taskbar:

The mouse coordinates:

(Maybe the value is in your macros happen to be okay. In that case you are already to use your macros now)

Noted in mouse coordinates (mouse position) of the first and second task. You can do this with the little program mouse position test. Download and execute immediately. No install procedures. Example:

test en test.

Adapt the macros

As final step in the correct mouse positions must be entered into your macros. Go again to the command browser, "Script", and choose Grammar "Global Commands".

Edit the macros that begin with "task <1-20>" (two of them, see picture).

test

And find the text:

test

Fill in for:

• "x": the first mouse position of the first task, (the left number),
• "y1": the second mouse position of the first task (the right number),
• "yincr": the difference of the two vertical mouse positions (the two right numbers)

Example:

x = 15       ’(doesn‘t matter that much!)
y1 = 54
yincr = 29   ’((= 83 - 54). Yincr often will be 28 or 29)

If you want to be even more accurate, you take the position of task 11, and to divide the difference by 10. Enter integer numbers!
