I'm trying to move my cursor into the search box using Windows OneNote. If I manually type Ctrl+F it will accomplish this. The following is the code that I used.

 

Application-Specific (OneNote)

Command Type (Advanced Scripting)

 

Sub Main
   SendDragonKeys "{Ctrl+F}"

End Sub

 

Sub Main

   SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+F}"

End Sub

 

Sub Main
    SendKeys "{Ctrl+F}"

End Sub

Thanks for taking the time.

SendDragonKeys and SendKeys are about the same speed in Ver. 15.61. SendSystemKeys might be slightly more bulletproof because it is a smidgen slower. Since this is a single movement script, you probably won't notice any speed difference.

However, your script requires 3 steps.

1. Moving the cursor in the Find field
2. Dictating your text
3. Saying Press enter

If you're not using the KnowBrainer 2022 Upgrade we recommend combining all 3 steps into a single command which we call Find <dictation> in KnowBrainer. Just copy the following script. For example if you're looking for your oil change information you can say Find <oil change>

 

Sub Main
SendKeys "^f"
Wait 0.2
SendKeys ListVar1
Wait 0.5
SendKeys "{Esc}"
End Sub

Thanks for the help.

I did get it to work to a point.

Sub Main
SendKeys "^f"
Wait 0.2
SendKeys ListVar1
Wait 0.5 (Changed to 3.5)
SendKeys "{Esc}"
End Sub

The change allowed me to type in a typed value.  How can I have it except a verbal
value?

Ps I might be missing the boat. I'm thinking of switching back to your software. How would this look using your software.

The reason of concern. It seems that I'm almost the only one not using it. I see my name coming up almost exclusively  on the forum for help.

Alan noting that you needed to add a list name to the name of your command is spot on

There is no such thing as too many KnowBrainer 2017/2020/2022 questions. Don't worry about it

Rename your command to this:

Find <dictation>

If the command has <dictation> at the end, you'll be able to say, for example, "Find cookies" or "Find next meeting" or whatever.

(Alternatively, rename the command to begin with a word or phrase you find easy to say and remember, e.g., Search For <dictation>

When using the Find <dictation> command, note that you shouldn't pause after saying "Find." To search for "cookies" don't say "Find [pause] cookies." Instead, say "FindCookies"
