Is there a way to send keystrokes (like Crtl-A, Crtl-C or Ctrl-Alt-ù)?

With utils (I prefer, because it handles also a wait function) , or luamacros or macros.

I need it for a macro.

Why do you want to do that?

To be able, when launching a macro to check spell, to mark all (the textbox) copy to the clipboard (I know that for that I have an ID command), and call an external spell checker (tinyspell+ here).

I shall try to see how it's made this function under Firefox2 (chrome + components ?)

What for do you want to send keystrokes?

Yes, but I ought to call automaticly the external spell checker.

Hmm, I guess that's a bit too complicated for a macro since the job isn't done by sending the keystrokes to the spell checker - you have to give feedback to the user highlighting misspelled words somehow and offering corrections. Don't know how you want to do that with a macro...

Something like this:

Mark all (macro)
Copy (macro)
Call an external tool (macro)
Create a special mark for macro (external tool)
Wait for macro mark ok (macro)
Call External Spell checker (external tool)
Paste in Spell checker (external tool)
Create a special mark for
Correction (Spell checker)
copy all (Spell checker)
modify mark for macro (tool)
End of tool
Mark all (macro)
Paste (macro)
End of macro.

In fact the big problem is how to wait for end spell checker job, and how to wait for end of tool (not to paste immediatelly)

I haven't say it's easy, but perhaps ...

Perhaps WSH can do that. Here's bogus code.

-- macro

id(ID_EDIT_SELECT_ALL);
id(ID_EDIT_COPY);
# Spellchecker must return in 10secs.
pluginmsg(utils, "exec", "wscript spell.js", -1);
id(ID_EDIT_PASTE);

-- jscript

var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.Run("tinyspell.exe");
WScript.Sleep(500);
shell.AppActivate("tinyspell");
WScript.Sleep(100);
shell.SendKeys("^v");
WScript.Sleep(3000);
shell.SendKeys("^c");

However, this concept is very weak because fixed wait and user interruption. The better solution is to use a spellcheck library and to embed into the browser. Are there FF extentions?
Thanks.

You're right, it would be better to have it embed in the browser.

I'll look at the way Firefox do it.

I am really sorry,But is not the k-meleon attractive?
I want you to get along well with Mr(Mis) hao for me.
Should have been able to make splendid browser together.
Will it be difficult?
If there is an opportunity see you again.

I have implemented the idea presented here in Autoit (since it can easily manipulate windows & send keystrokes & mouse clicks) and produced an working Aspell spell checking macro for K-Meleon :
Spell checking macro for K-Meleon using Autoit & Aspell.

@ www_ngtech_gr

I have test it, but I prefer not to use external tool (when possible). Look at what I've done.

@ mark307,

I have implemented a new aspell version that works without needing an external tool to wait for the end of the operation.

But I always have 2 problems with coding:

Just one can be treated under K-Meleon: the output used OEM format, and I need a EncodeOEM2UTF8 function.

I have found a source which can be simplificated and adapted to make this function.

If you can see it. Here is the C source:

@JujuLand
I guess, because the EncodeUTF8 function doesn't work fine in 1.1, EncodeOEM2UTF8 doesn't too. As I wrote on other topic, a string in macro is already UTF8. A plugin can't control it.

I made sure that ID_EDIT_COPY copied characters by Unicode (UCS2?) and ANSI. ANSI format doesn't contain accents on mine. And so getclipboard statement can't get accents. This code didn't show accents on mine.

id(ID_EDIT_SELECT_ALL);
id(ID_EDIT_COPY);
$__data=getclipboard();
alert($__data);

regards,

If you're right, the only solution is to have the file to read in utf8 format directly to have it ok.

In this case the only solution is to modify this code to take entry from a file instead of keyboard and to put corrected strings in a file.

I'll try to do it.

Sending keystroke to macros is good ideal, I suggest we can use this to bind some keystroke to mouse gestures, like page up or page down.

I was not no more thinking here to what you say, even I had thougth of it and I agree with you it would be interesting.

In fact now, there is a problem with string which is saved by Aspell in OEM format and which ought to be in utf8 format for K-Meleon, and as the conversion functions seems not to work, I said I will do the conversion before returning to K-Meleon, in the batch.

@JujuLand
If you can see characters with accent in a file outputted by aspell, it might be solution that copying texts the file to the clipboard directly by an external program. I think there is some such tools.

Thanks.

It's not exactly what I thought to do, I thought to convert with a tool (the source I found, but modified).
