For the past few years, a Knowbrainer script command that includes SendKeys "^{End}" has worked, moving the cursor to the empty entry box at the bottom of a list of populated entries. However, the hospital has 'upgraded' to a new Citrix remote desktop environment that hosts the same old pathology EMR I had been using. 

In the new environment, SendKeys "^{End}" goes to the last populated item in the list, immediately above next, Blank, entry box. Funny thing is, when I do this manually, Control-End works to move the cursor to the blank box.

I have tried SendKeys "{Down}" following SendKeys "^{End}" in the KB script to no effect.

Is there a work-around anyone can suggest to make this work?

Try creating an Advanced-Scripting command in Dragon with the following script but don't forget to name your command something unique so as not to interfere with your KnowBrainer commands. This can also be accomplished in KnowBrainer but would have to be written as a DVC command. DVC commands can also be created Dragon but require extra step. Think of the following script as an experiment:

 

Sub Main
     SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+End}"
End Sub

Lunis, that worked! What is the logic?

What do I need to do to re-create " SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+End}"" in a KB script?

Try creating a new KnowBrainer command. Look at the bottom where it says Scripting Language. To the immediate right you will see the default of KnowBrainer WinWrap Basic. Click the down arrow and change your command to DVC (Dragon Voice Commands). We refer to this as Dragon legacy scripting and you will be able to use any DVC script such as SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+End}"

To answer my own question, "What is the logic" for SystemSendKeys, I see that it is a timing issue and performance over a Citrix connection.

I have created a partial work-around in Dragon, using Advanced Scripting. However, I remain interested in what is needed to write a script in KB that works in Citrix.

In the past, I used MacroExpressPro (MEpro) with keyboard not voice. MEPro is a macro program. MEPro has a macro execution speed command that slows the script. It would be nice if KB had a similar feature.

Use SendDragonKeys with Citrix. It is much more reliable than SendKeys, and lots faster than SendSystemKeys.

Thank you Lunis and MDH. For whatever reason, my original Knowbrainer script is now working. Bonus: I successfully created scripts in Dragon Advanced Scripting and learned a new skill. To date, I have avoided learning Advanced Scripting.
