Hi Axel,

No worries, this is a place for learning and teaching after all so maybe it can go both ways :)

To be precise, yes the issue is to save time energy and clicks (or more like navigation presses in VO world) for the garage band issue with drag and drop operations.

Right now the standard way of doing it is to make a 5 finger key combo to click down the mouse, move with the voice over cursor until reaching the timeline which is 11 key presses away, then redo the 5 finger key combo.

A sighted user would do it in a fraction of a second.

That's why i am looking for a solution.

Right at this point, i did the following script which appears to somehow work, as it doesn't incur any error either in compilation or running the script but there's still something missing or not right As it just does not execute what i logically think it would do.

Tell application "VoiceOver"
Press
Tell application "Extra Suites"
Es move mouse {811, 735}
Tell application "VoiceOver"
Release
End tell
End tell
End tell


But this doesn't seem right though i properly nested the Extra Suites tell block within the VoiceOver tell block, in which case the actions should be contiguous.

The resulting operation, from a blind perspective, is that it seems to do some operations as in moving the mouse cursor but it goes back to the original spot and the loop wasn't dropped into the timeline.

I suspect this is because somehow the voice over cursor is not following the mouse cursor though my preferences are set for all cursors to follow each other.



Still looking into it after a short dinner break :)

Best regards,

Yuma DX®
