the fall 2008 timetable is kinda dumb how it's all laid out, every
single subject available is on one page organized alphabetically. is
there any way I can just do a find for what I want instead of having
to go through all that miles and miles of stuff I don't care about?
lol.
A.R. Try the Item Chooser menu (VO-i) and type the first letter of the
course you're looking for, press Return and you'll be on that item.
J.R. I figured out that VO f is a find command, but it didn't seem
to work when I tried it. all it did was stall safari for about 30
seconds, it didn't actually take me to where on the page I wanted to
be.
A.R. VO-f only searches the visible part of the page which is why the
Item Chooser or Link Chooser are better options.
J.R. when I got to my subject, creative writing/journalism, I looked
through and thought I'd copy and paste the possibilities into text
edit so I'd have something smaller to work with. when I tried the
standard selecting by line command, command shift right arrow, it
didn't do anything. so I opened up text edit, wrote a few lines and
tried it there just to make sure I was doing it right, and it
worked. is it not possible to select things out of safari and copy
them into text edit?
A.R. In Safari, you have to use the special VO select (VO-Return).
This is a toggle command so you use it at the beginning and end of the
selection process. You'll hear a whooshing sound as you select text.
You then just do Command-c to copy as usual.
Cheers,
Anne
