Hi Gary,
concerning label tracks.
I've had a quick look at the code, and as far as I can see, the labels in a 
label track are just painted like a graphic- it doesn't uses text boxes that 
might show up in the accessibility api. So finding insertion pointers could be 
tough.

David.

[Well, I see I didn’t send this to the
list.  I have implemented the option to make ENTER not pause during play/record,
but haven’t sent it to anyone yet.]
Hi All,

Well, I can’t believe it!
 Murphy is alive and well!  I don’t know what possessed me to
make a label track right after I downloaded Audacity 2.0.3 after posting the
announcement, but I found a problem with the script.  If you are playing
and use CTRL+m to make a label, pressing ENTER to complete the label adds a p
to the label instead of sending ENTER to Audacity.  I can’t find a
way (yet) to identify when we are in a label track and a label is being edited.
 The best work-around I can think of right now is a JAWS option to turn
off (most of) the ENTER Pauses in play/record functionality.  Is this
important enough that you would like a new version of the script, or can I just
release it in the “real” version?  

I looked at label tracks a bit last night.
 I can find no way to get the “Label Track” text from MSAA.
 I think I can get it from the by reading the text at the PC cursor.
 The label being edited is black on white, while the others are black on
light steel blue 2, but I don’t know if I can detect an empty label until
there is a character in it to get the color of.  I also don’t see an
insertion pointer while editing a label.   Is there one, and does
someone by any chance know how it’s made?
