Bruce,

If I understand what you've tried, it sounds like you're trying to emulate your physical actions by holding down the Ctrl key while repeating the Tab keystroke a finite number of times.

If so, I would suggest repeating separate instances of Ctrl+Tab keystrokes. If you want to move through four tabs, repeat the Ctrl+Tab keystroke four times.

OTOH, if that's what you're doing, try doing the first routine.

If neither works, try another editor

HTH,
Bruce

Bruce,

I would have to go back through my notes but there are a number of ways of creating commands that will switch back and forth between tabs in an application. There is also a means of holding down the control key (Ctrl) while switching tabs. It's been a long time since I needed that because Internet Explorer has its own nifty little set of commands for switching tabs quite easily. There are also some dirty ways of doing this. If I can find these, I'll share them with you. However, I can't guarantee that I ever kept them.

However, the reason for my post is simply to point out to everyone that Notepad++ is not Select-and-Say enabled. I tried this variation some time ago with one of the previous versions of DNS and it wasn't Select-and-Say enabled then. I just downloaded and tried the new version and it is not Select-and-Say enabled in either DNS 9.5 or 10.0.

Chuck,

Select and say is not particularly important to me when I'm using this editor. Most of the time I use this editor for viewing files and making very minor changes. Command and control is much more important to me when using Notepad++.

Any assistance you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bruce

Why not use the "Window" menu option?

Bruce,

following your tip on the Knowbrainer forum, I downloaded Notepad++ and installed it. This editor seems nice and neat, I will definitely use it. Also, it does launch with all files being open the last time it was closed, like the one that I suggested.

As Quintijn already pointed out, you can switch between open files by calling the window menu, and then pressing the number thats assigned to the window you want to switch to.

So, using a code like Sendkeys "%w" + ListVar1 - not knowing for sure if "w" is the accelerator key for this in the English version, otherwise change it - in a script defined app specific and called "go to window <1-10>" will do what you want.

Bruce,

FWIW, now that I'm back home I discovered that the following DNS Pro 10 script works to switch between adjacent windows:

Sub Main
SendKeys "^{Tab}"
End Sub

However, I agree it seems more convenient to go directly to the window that you want via the menu command.

In an off-line discussion with Lizcito, we discovered that an older version of Notepad++ is "Select-and-Say" compatible. Version 4.1.2 works, and perhaps more recent versions do as well. But the most recent version is not "Select-and-Say" compatible.

You do have to add the following to the bottom of your nsapps.ini file:

[Notepad++]
App Support GUID={dd100104-6205-11cf-ae61-0000e8a28647}
[Notepad++\Enable Class Names]
Scintilla=1
