In Leopard the keystroke copies the last spoken phrase to the
clipboard. It's very useful by the way but it isn't the currently
needed keystroke.

Hi Shaun,
In Tiger, VO-keys+Shift-C gave you the name of a column. I'm not
sure it's
the same in Leopard, since someone told me that giving that command
did something else about characters, but it's still listed as the
command
sequence in Apple's Knowledge base:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=VoiceOver/1.0/en/mh2071.html
<begin excerpt>
VoiceOver 1.0 Help
Working in tables and outlines
Depending on the application, you may hear "table" or "outline" to
describe a text area. You can navigate either of these areas by row
and column. You must press Control-Option-Shift-Down Arrow to
interact with them.
To hear the contents of a row in a table, including the header
information, press Control-Option-R.
To hear the header of a column in a table, press Control-Option-
Shift-C.
To sort the column, press Control-Option-vertical line (|) when the
VoiceOver cursor is on the column heading.
You can use the same text commands you would use for documents to
read text in a table or outline.
<end excerpt>
Incidentally, for those folks using non-English keyboards and trying
to sort
columns, does the sequence work if you use a different key
combination?
I just realized that we keep telling people to use Control-Option-
Shift-Backslash
to sort columns in iTunes, but the "Vertical Line" referred to tin
the Apple
help documents is really what is used to sort -- it's only on
English keyboards
that vertical lines are "Shift-backslash". So for Søren (on a
Danish keyboard),
"vertical line" is another sequence that isn't on the same key as
the backslash
character, and he has to use an alternative way to sort. Does
locking the
VoiceOver keys and typing Option-I (the combination to get a
vertical line on
a Danish keyboard) work for him?
Cheers,
Esther
