@mcourcel I'm glad others are scripting because it's way over my head.
@mcourcel Thank you. I really need to see about a script that will make sure my screen shade stays on because even in 2026, we can't have it turn on at jaws start
@evilcookies98 Yeah, just looked into that and you are correct. That's so weird. There might be a way with the typekey function. Hmm!
@evilcookies98 Okay, figured it out. In the default script file, there's a section called AutoStartEvent. You'll have to arrow down, until you hear endFunction. Go to the start of the line and press Enter. Arrow up to the blank line and paste this line.
ToggleScreenShade ()

Control+s to compile. Pressing JAWSKey+0 opens the script editor. Control+Shift+d puts you into the default script. Control+f to find things.
@evilcookies98 Okay, on second thought, don't do that. I'm getting random JAWS crashes. But at least we know that there is indeeed a toggle. Just have to figure out how to make it not crash things. Grr.
@mcourcel What's your jaws version?
@mcourcel Sorry, my tweesecake is busted. Haven't seen a crash here.
@evilcookies98 Ah okay, cool. I rebooted and it seems to be better.
