Exciting update!
I've discovered a scalable way of supporting a larger list of push alternate verbs such as "skip". So instead of
push skip, a user can omit
push, and simply say
skip.
There are two versions of intents I could use, one where simply the alt verb is sent, and one where the alt verb plus a target. For example...
Alt verb only:
skip
Alt verb + target:
skip song
But there's a caveat with the second version. It requires a target to be specified after being prompted for it by Alexa.
That is to say, after saying
skip it or
skip them, Alexa will ask "skip what?", and you will need to provide something or the intent will fail and nothing will be sent. Unfortunately, at this time, I don't have a way of accepting an alt verb + the target in a single phrase.
The current list of alt verbs are as follows:
- skip
- like
- sign
- decrypt
- encrypt
- highlight
- spellcheck
- replace
- insert
- align
- format
- navigate
- move
- create
- share
- attach
- import
- export
- filter
- sort
- refresh
- redo
- undo
- minimize
- maximize
- resize
- scroll
- zoom
- drop
- drag
- select
- rename
- search
- delete
- cut
- paste
- copy
- save
- left click
- right click
- click
- jump
