I'm the same way. I apparently have guitar player's fingers LOL.



They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

i can use one finger to press VO and shift. i don’t have large fingers, but I’m used to playing musical instruments, and my fingers are pretty long.

Yeah, numpad commander is your friend on OS X. I can manage just fine either way--not sure what's so hard about the VO keys, myself--but the numpad commander definitely makes the Apple wired keyboard worthwhile for me. I gave up the Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad in favour of just the wired keyboard. (A standard keyboard works but may or may not have enough keys to be comprehensive, for example FN and a dedicated eject key, though you can sort of work around that. You will not get an Insert key for use in Windows however. Unfortunately some USB and virtual keyboards do not allow you to sustain a keypress, so check it before committing to it, because there are quite a few cycle keys in OS X.)

Don't forget Control-Option lock, too (VO+semicolon). That locks the VO keys, which behaves a bit more rationally than QuickNav, at the expense of needing to unlock when you're finished.

If you don't like the amount of interacting, remember that the tab key also works, and you have jump targets and hot spots to move you even more quickly. You'll get used to it. I surprise sighted people by installing software faster than they can on OS X using the famously keyboard-unfriendly OS X installer. :)

Cheers,
Sabahattin
