"I believe curly brackets for typing keys are deprecated. TypeKey("Tab") is
better than {Tab} nowadays.".
I remember that I read this some time ago, but without any explanation.
Is there a reason why the ugly function TypeKey() is preferred to the nicer
and shorter {} syntax?

A bit of additional info:
I believe curly brackets for typing keys are deprecated. TypeKey("Tab") is
better than {Tab} nowadays.
But calling the code you want to run directly tends to be better still. So
you would probably want
PerformScript as already mentioned.
There is one other option that I have not played with, which is the
SimulateKey() function. That's supposed to
do what you're trying to do, though I still think PerformScript is better
in this case.

Hi Jonathon,
Not clear here what you are trying to achieve?
If you just want to call the JumpToRelativeTime() script, then in your
own script, just use:
PerformScript JumpToRelativeTime()
If you want to pass a value to that input box, and press enter, then the
easiest way might be, just to copy the relevant parts of the
JumpToRelativeTime script into your script, and assign the value
directly to the variable, sRelative.
I e. use the basic code from JumpToRelativeTime, instead of calling it.

Hi All,
Is it not possible to invoke keystrokes in a script from within another
script in the same file? Using winamp.jss as the example, I am attempting
to call the ???????JumpToRelativeTime??????? Winamp script from my own
script I am developing at the bottom of the same file. I first tried
passing the keystroke that invokes the script using the curley brackets,
typekey, typestring etc, but couldn????????t pass it through successfully
to Winamp. I then called the script by inserting it into my own script
and this worked well. Though I am now able to call the script, whenever I
try and pass keystrokes to it, nothing happens. It????????s like they are
somehow being blocked from passing through. VFO Support tells me that you
cannot pass keystrokes through to other scripts, but I find this extremely
difficult to believe. I have tried putting the keystrokes in curley
brackets, using TypeKey, TypeString, etc. but I cannot make it work. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan
