Nektarios, Welcome to the list. Here is another way of checking the time with a 2 finger keyboard command. Open up Voiceover utility with VO F8. Interact, arrow down to commanders, then stop interacting. VO right arrow to the keyboard tab, select it with VO spacebar. VO right arrow once more and you will reach a check box labeled "enable Keyboard commander", check this with VO spacebar. Right arrow to the Okay button and press VO space bar. VO left arrow back to commanders. Interact, arrow up to General, then stop interacting. VO right arrow until you reach a checked labeled "allow voiceover to be controlled by applescripts" and check it with VO space bar. Now to check the date and time you press the right option key with the letter T.
