Hi, is there a keyboard shortcut or command to trigger the mousegrid and then program a numeric sequence to follow?

Eg mousegrid 9134

I think it's doable through Dragons advanced scripting (?) but it would be great to keep all of the custom commands in the same grammar file. 

Thank you

Hi Justin,
I'm not sure if it's possible with Dragon's MouseGrid, I didn't find a way but maybe it can be done. If you happen to be using Linux or you can do a bit of Python programming, you might be interested to know that keyboard input is supported in my BeamGrid (https://github.com/shervinemami/BeamGrid), and also there is keyboard support for parts of the mouse grid modes in Caster (https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Caster). The mouse grid mode of Dragon is very crappy, so if that is what you're currently using I do highly recommend you use either Caster for Windows or BeamGrid for Linux.

Cheers,
Shervin.

Thank you for that feedback Shervin, That looks interesting, I'll check it out. Screen control is definitely 1 of the weaker points for voice control.

I got a very basic version to work with Dragon custom commands so I'll use that as a stopgap measure for now as I'm on quite a few learning curves i.e. Kotlin, android studio.

FWIW what I did is create a custom command (advanced), set to work on Android Studio space only, targeting MouseGrid coordinates of 3389 with this code:

Sub Main
MouseGrid 1,3
Wait 0.1
MouseGrid 1,3
Wait 0.1
MouseGrid 1,8
Wait 0.1
MouseGrid 1,9
Wait 0.3
ButtonClick 1,1
End Sub

Take care

Oh ok. Then yeah I highly recommend you do try the mouse grids of Caster or BeamGrid, it will definitely make your life easier! But yes it does take some time to adjust to each new tool!
