1st tab …9th tab commands not working on edge or chrome using Windows 11. Dragon 15.61, KnowBrainer 2020, speechstart, SP 7 Pro. Is it just me or everyone? Possible fix? Thanks in advance.

Maybe Dragon® gets confused with "Tab". Try using this Microsoft Edge specific DVC command (attached).

 

I've been using it for years and years without any issues:

Thanks so much. I'm reading your book, but perhaps you can help me first. how do I get "DVC Script" to appear after I've chosen "advanced scripting?"

1. Open your Dragon Command Browser to Script view

 

2. Left Click on any mouse command, at the top of the browser, followed by pressing New Copy.

 

3. Delete the contents of your your new command and follow dilligence's exemplary pictorial details in his last post, on this thread

Note #1
If dilligence's command doesn't work, you might consider changing the word SendKeys to SendSystemKeys, which will slow the process down. You probably won't notice any difference because this is a single movement.

Note #2
If nothing else works, you can always substitute by saying press control 3 to switch to the 3rd tab/window

Lunis, thanks for the feedback. Quick question — once I've deleted the contents of my new command, and I have copied the contents of the XML file, how do I paste? I lose the structure that I see in the XML file, and it results in syntax error.

Copying a command from an XML file isn't going to work because of the structure. However, you really don't need to reinvent the wheel because you already have this command in KnowBrainer 2017. Note that this command was improved in the new KnowBrainer 2020 Upgrade.

 

Another option would be to copy the following KnowBrainer script into Dragon as an Advanced-Scripting command. Of course you could just upgrade The following Command Name is <1st_9th> Tab. Say 3rd Tab to bring bring focus to the 3rd tab (3rd window). You can copy the following KnowBrainer script but don't forget that you will also have to create a list:

 

Sub Main
SendKeys "{WindowsHold}^{Left 9}"
Wait 0.3
if ListVar1 = "first" then SendKeys "^1"
if ListVar1 = "second" then SendKeys "^2"
if ListVar1 = "third" then SendKeys "^3"
if ListVar1 = "fourth" then SendKeys "^4"
if ListVar1 = "fifth" then SendKeys "^5"
if ListVar1 = "sixth" then SendKeys "^6"
if ListVar1 = "seventh" then SendKeys "^7"
if ListVar1 = "eighth" then SendKeys "^8"
if ListVar1 = "ninth" then SendKeys "^9"
End Sub

Same here, recent problem.  Windows 11. Dragon 15.61, KnowBrainer 2020. Had help with getting latest commands update (thanks Lunis) but this problem with the tabs persists.

Just to see if it's the command or a problem with the browser or the operating system…

Open your browser and a handful of tabs.

If physically possible, try manually pressing the shortcuts on your keyboard (press and hold the control key followed by pressing one of the numbers associated with one of the tabs which is not currently focus).

Do the same thing vocally saying "press control 2" etc. with numbers representing again tabs which are not currently in focus.


Try this with a few of the numbers, make sure that you can switch tabs vocally and, if physically possible manually.

Just to be on the safe side, open up the KnowBrainer sidebar and make sure that the appropriate command is still in existence. It should be a global command and very near the top with a name that looks like:
<1st_10th> Tab

If it is not there, use Diligence's DVC as a Dragon command. I just tested the KnowBrainer command in Chrome, Edge and Firefox - it works just fine here.

PS - sometimes (though rarely) a KnowBrainer command can get duplicated - two commands with exactly the same name and scope (global, application-specific or window-specific). If you see this try to verify that they are identical in content and then just remove one of them.

Here, using Microsoft Edge, it is perfectly possible to switch tabs by manual shortcut or by saying "press control 2" etc and I can't see any identical commands.

The command used to work just fine with Knowbrainer too.
