I don't think that's what he meant. Your Voiceover keys are control and
option. So if you're already holding them down to navigate, then how are
you supposed to get to those extra options which would require you to hold
the option key down while hovering your mouse over the key. The only way
that I've found to get this to work is to open up the menu, vo+down arrow to
the option which needs to be changed over, then route your mouse with
vo+command+F5, then hit your option key while clicking your physical mouse
or trackpad. the only issue with this however is beware, there really
isn't, at least that I know of, a reliable way to see what the options turn
to when holding down the option key since you can't navigate effectively
with voiceover while the Option key is held down. Again, I know. You
already are! holding down your option key with your voiceover keys. that's
my whole point. If you're holding down the control and option keys already,
then you don't have a way of specifying to change to the alt option. Ya
know? So, yeah, it's probably not the most effective way to do things,
however, that said, I have found times, very few and far between, but still,
I have seen times where I didn't have a choice, and that's how I got around
it. Again, not probably the answer you wanted, I'm sure, but it's what I
got.

key
You work with these the same way you do normal menus, when an option comes
up that you want, press VO+Space to activith such options.

hey all,
i have a quick question for you all.
i was playing in the view menu of finder sitting on the arrange by sub
menu and i found that when i hit the option key the sub menu changed to
say sort by.
how do VO users work with this? because you have to keep holding the
option key down to see the new options that come up. how do you enter
these menus to work with the new options?
thanks for any help
Michael
