dear list Just to report some things that are making my life easier as a Mac User. Not every thing is going completely smoothly as you might expect . But some things I learnt today have definitely made life much easier.
Firstly I have turned on Num pad Commander. This has revolutionised the usability of Voiceover navigation for me and I would strongly recommend it to a new Mac user of Voiceover. The main things I am missing are a way to go back between dialogues and windows and a command to tell me what window I am in. I am sure they are around. I just need to learn what they are. Num Pad commander is definitely making life easier though . Secondly today I learnt about quick nav keys and single letter web navigation. As I understand it the single letter navigation is a new feature of Lion. This is a brilliant feature and I cannot really understand why it is not the default setting. I was a little concerned at how long it was taking me to navigate web pages on the web yesterday. Now with this settings change using the web is again a rapid and easy process for me. Nearly All the single letter navigation keys I used with Jaws on Windows web pages are now available. For example I can press B to jump to a button after pressing f to jump to the edit box, then H to jump to headings or even the numbers 1 2 3 etc to jump to different heading levels . It is c for a check box rather than X but that is fine. R for radio button is obvious as is N for next etc. I had pretty much resigned myself to voiceover not being as flexible as Jaws on web pages but with these navigation commands and track pad gestures Voiceover has moved ahead I think. All in in all a reassuring day.
