Also, this message should, if I did it right, be tweeted automatically.

JAWS, Unigram, General: If JAWS freezes briefly when a new message arrives or sends, turn off In-App Sounds in Settings > Notifications. Also if dlee dot org links I post here don't work from Twitter, I saw that and will look into it when I can. They do work from Telegram, but I want them working from both places.
JAWS, Unigram: Script revision 63 released at https://www.dlee.org/unigram
: Chat navigation system, more buttons named, fewer duplicate new-message sounds and announcements, better handling of voice and video messages and file transfers, and more.

JAWS, BX: Revision 2325 released at https://www.dlee.org/bx/
Recommended for all BX users because it fixes a rare but sometimes disruptive JAWS stall immediately after the user switches between applications and tries instantly to type into the new one.

JAWS, Unigram: For anyone out there for whom the recently added mention autocomplete system I scripted didn’t work, try this revision (80). For some reason, the chat input box appears to JAWS as if it is a single-line rather than a multiline box on some machines; and that broke the autocomplete code by making the scripts fail to recognize the box. I’ve seen this happen to two people so far. This revision fixes the issue. https://www.dlee.org/unigram/
JAWS 2019 and older, Microsoft Teams web interface: Experimental but apparently stable script update, revision 71: Significant help with extra menu event problems while arrowing through replies in a threaded conversation while using JAWS 2019 and older. There is no issue under JAWS 2020. This problem only applies to the web Teams interface, not to the Desktop application. The fix also only applies to the web interface. https://www.dlee.org/teams/
A link formatting test; feel free to ignore; unless you want to visit my main website and project list of course. Sorry for the extra alert.
JAWS, Slack: New scripts!
* Better naming of some fields.
* Hopefully much more efficient presentation order for messages, and users can choose format.
* Commands for reading parts of message info (sender, content, flags, attachment info, etc.) separately.
* Long messages not cut short.
* Commands for simulating F6 and Shift+F6 for home-row efficiency and users with inconvenient keyboards for typing function keys.

JAWS, Slack: I am documenting ways I use Slack efficiently in the script user guide. The unreleased version at https://www.dlee.org/updates/slack.htm now includes tips on how to keep up with new messages and activities via notifications, the All Unreads and Threads pseudo channels, the Activities list, etc. Comments welcome before I formally release it. I am still adding to that file but thought this much of it might be useful to people already.
JAWS, Slack: Script revision 32 released:
Much more info in the user guide than in the first release.
The sequence [ 7 reads reaction types for a message.
Messages that say "replied to a thread" are much easier to read.
Ctrl+Backspace says what it should.
Normal JAWS keystrokes for Chrome pages should work here as well.
