Thanks! ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930#8 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 17:58:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930#8 VoiceBot Ok, so this is a total hack, and might require some tweaking. There's no hotkey to focus the scrubber, so my Macro Scripts focus it by pressing Tab 8 times, which only works if you've clicked on the video once to hide the player controls.

There are 3 scripts attached:

• fastforward.txt: This tabs to the scrubber and repeatedly presses the right arrow key until it recognizes that the play macro has been run.
• rewind.txt: Same as fastfoward.txt but with the left arrow key.
• play.txt: Just runs for 1 second to allow the other two scripts to detect it.

I just need to clean up the macro script code and test it a bit more to make sure it's somewhat reliable. I will keep you posted. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930#6 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 21:45:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930#6 VoiceBot You have to "focus" the trackbar/slider by clicking on it, or using the tab key. Then you can use the arrow keys to RW/FF. Most browser players like Netflix's work w/o having to "focus" the trackbar/slider. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930#5 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 17:29:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930#5 VoiceBot Is there an option for those keyboard shortcuts somewhere?

I believe this is possible with a Macro Script, but I'd like to test it out here. ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 13:17:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/press-key-until-canceled/?ID=fcf88bfe-fe8c-48f0-8e11-e0c51d9fe930 VoiceBot I would like to be able to Rewind using a macro, but I can't figure out how to repeat a key press. I just need the left arrow key to repeat firing until it is toggled off. I don't quite understand how the toggle action is supposed to be used either (An example would be awesome). Any help would be greatly appreciated. ]]>
