Caps lock is about the only key you could use since control, option or
command alone is already in use my many apps or the OS.

Hi Alex, Jonathan and others,
This is a great thread but I must say that I still think it would be
very very helpful to be able to have the Voice Over key be one key. I ordered
a full USB keyboard about a year ago so that I could use the num pad commander.
I like it a lot, but frankly, I would not need it if the Voice Over key could
be assigned to the caps lock key. It is a matter of keeping my fingers on the
home keys. I'm much faster on the keyboard if I can just leave my fingers on
the home row and type away. But with Voice Over keys needing two fingers I
just can't do that. Further on the portables VO keys are only on the left side.
this forces me to do all kinds of finger contortions to do a simple command.
I'm glad Voice Over gives us lots of ways to do things. I use them all but,
every 6 months or so I write to accessibility@@apple.com and ask please please
can I have the caps lock key assignably as the VO keys? It would be great to
have this be one more VO option.
It was a thread like this one that caused me to purchase a full size keyboard,
so I could use the num pad commander. This helped a great deal. Still it is
time for me to write my next reminder to apple!
Warmly,
ERic Caron

90% of what I need to do can be done with the numpad commander. I did add two
additional keystrokes to the default Lion commander.
1. On the "3" key I added the jump command that gets executed with VO-J
2. With the Enter key I have it set to toggle betweenWeb dom and group mode.
The defaults are
1. Item chooser
2. down
3. Jump
4. Left
5. Default action (same as vo-space)
6. Right
7. Interact with item
8 up
9 . Stop Interacting
The 3 keys on the top row above 789 are
Doc, Menu , and window chooser
The plus key brings up the contextual menu.
I also use the insert + numpad keys for getting to next/previous
heading, link, visited link, table, control and hot spot.
If there is a specific function you need help with, I can probably tell you
where it is.
Best wishes,
Jonathan

True. I don't have a trackpad, but I do have a numpad, I often forget
I set up a commander for it though.

And if you are looking for a way to navigate without having to hold those
keys down you always have quick nav, trackpad commander, and numpad
commander assuming you have a numberpad on your keyboard.

I know of no way to do this. However, you can use VO-semicolon to lock the
VO keys on. It's a toggle, so you can press it again to turn it off.

Hi all,
I have an odd question. Is it possible to define a single key to act
as the VO keys? So, instead of holding down alt and control (whatever
the mac calls them) you hold down only one? Please don't start saying
that "you just want windows-like control". It's simply that hitting a
single key, be it insert or not, with other keys to input commands is
more streamlined and easier to do, IMHO. So, if it's possible to map
VO comman keys to be something different, could anyone tell me how?
Thanks.
