I was able to create a KB save as and save file command. When I deploy the save as file command,it takes me to the proper menu. The menu also contains several numbered "Y"menus. An example is there is one for where I name the file. At present, I have to click on that menu item.

I am hoping I can create KB commands for these numbered "Y" items. I would attach a screenshot but am unable to do so. Lunis and his Baker Street Irregulars are investigating.

However, I was hoping somebody had figured this out.

As always, I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thanks so much,

Jim Triona

Those "Y" + numbers are accelerators. If you want to navigate to, for example, "Y5", then the script can simply type those two letters.

There are easier to ways to interact with "Save As" dialogs. For example, in Word, either F12 or Shift + F12 is the keyboard shortcut for "Save As..." (I changed the hotkeys in my version of Word, so I can't confirm which key combo is correct.)

When the "Save As" dialog box opens, focus is in the "File Name" field. If you know the folder you want the file to be saved in, you don't need to navigate to that folder by clicking on icons. There's an easier way:

Let's assume you want your file to be saved in this folder:

c:\Users\Jim\Documents\Closed Cases\2022\

And let's say the file name is "Hello"

Then the script, in pseudo code, will look something like this:

SendKeys "{F12}"
Wait 0.5 seconds ' Need a little time for the dialog box to appear
SendKeys "c:\Users\Jim\Documents\Closed Cases\2022\Hello" ' Type the full path in the "File Name" field
Wait 2 seconds ' It's helpful to watch the path populate the "File name: field.
SendKeys "{Enter}" ' Activate the default "Save" button

1. The devil is in the details. Be specific about what application you would like commands for.

2. We strongly recommend creating your personal commands in Dragon rather than KnowBrainer because KnowBrainer upgrades currently overwrite the previous commands

3. If we are talking about Microsoft Word, KnowBrainer already includes Save, Save As and Save As <dictation> application-specific commands for Microsoft Word. The Save command is global. We suspect that you are adding your personal commands as global. This won't work because the built-in KnowBrainer commands are application-specific. Application commands always take preference over global commands and window commands take precedence over application commands.

You will not need to click on any Ys for those 3 commands. We recommend placing your cursor into a Microsoft Word document and saying Show Application Commands, to view commands, in alphabetical order, that are dedicated to Microsoft Word (assuming that is the application you are asking about)
