in leopard mail, if you just use fn-arrows in the messages table, they work but the vo cursor does not move. it is necessary to interact and use the vo home and end commands.

I usually have my cursors tracking (or at least Mouse cursor tracking VoiceOver cursor), but turning this off seems to give somewhat better behavior with Safari 3 in the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). I agree with Chris that AFAIK the laptop equivalents for Page up and Page down with the function keys and arrows always work, provided Page up and Page down are supported in the app. Cheers, Esther On Aug 15, 2008, at 5:02 AM, David Poehlman wrote: > right, they will work if you have your cursors tracked and even if > you don't > but if you don't they will appear not to work. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris Blouch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac > OS X by > theblind" <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 10:33 AM > Subject: Re: function and arrow keys not working > > > On Mac laptops there isn't a separate bunch of keys for page up/ > down or > home/end.
