thanks for the reference to getguistatus. I was aware of its existance, but not that it returned the current window/mode whatever. I'll check it out soon.

as for your error, can you please send me your voicecommands.xml file? (just send it to [email protected])

I don't know if you know already, but VC does keyboard emulation, and you can string keys together, which is semi macro-like. The image below shows what I was using for a situation where I was forced to do raw html coding and didn't want to do the tags by hand over and over. the idea here was to select the text and then say "under line" and it would surround the text with <u> </u> by using cut and paste.



also , don't know if you know but any command can be put into loop mode by preceding it with [repeat:n] where n is the delay between loops in millisecs.
this illustration show how to do slow and fast scrolling with only 2 commands by using looping and payload lists for the directions. (pretty cool, I think! - I'm proud of this).


ANY command should kill the loop. So you could create a dummy command that does nothing if you want: "stop scrolling" etc.
