Greetings All, I’m interested to hear from anyone who is successfully using any sort of VO-accessible alternative to the standard MacOS Clipboard. In particular, I am interested in one specific feature: the ability to use the “Copy last phrase to clipboard” command (VO+Shift+C) to copy multiple consecutive or non-consecutive items to the clipboard without overwriting the previous item. I am a frequent User of this particular VO command, and there have been many times when I’ve thought I could increase my productivity and decrease the number of redundant keystrokes by simply being able to invoke this command repeatedly and have the content copy itself into some sort of non-volatile version of the built-in clipboard for future retrieval.
I came across another example this morning where I thought about how useful this ability would be. I have received a number of emails from students who are requesting that I help contact publishers to request accessible versions of textbooks. These emails usually include lists of the book titles with edition, author, publisher and ISBN. Usually, I only need the ISBN, so I will go through each email, find each ISBN, use the VO “Copy last phrase to clipboard” command to copy the number, use the standard Command+V to paste the item into a spreadsheet, return to the email, and repeat the process for each ISBN in each email. I’d really like to just copy the first item to the clipboard, navigate to the next ISBN, copy it to the clipboard without having it overwrite the first instance, and repeat this process for all ISBN numbers, then go to the clipboard or to the destination document and paste the entire list.
