Hi, is there a keystroke in VO that will pass the next key pressed to the computer by passing VO? There is such a keystroke in some PC screen readers. This would mean you could bypass VO and use the caps lock.

Hi Mary,If you follow my podcast you will no longer have a caps lock key but rather a very convenient Voice Over key. If you want your caps lock back you can either go to the extras menu in Mountain Lion for KeyRemaper4Macbook and press the preferences button and then you can either temporarily turn off the key remap with a check box or uncheck it permanently. For me this is a non issue as I almost never use the caps lock key and can use the shift key when needed. The advantage of having the caps lock act as the voice over modifier key is infinitely more important to me. I keep finding ways why this works so well. for example opening a disclosure triangle is now so much easier. I just holde the caps lock key down with my left little finger and tap the \ key with my other little finger. I never take my hands off the home keys. In the past my left hand had to go all the way down to the Option Control keys on the left side completely stopping my typing flow. I still have a lot of muscle memory that causes me to use the old VO Keys but little by little I am increasing my speed by taking advantage of the caps lock. It is great! another key I now use more often is vo w and VO w twice. This is the word and the spelling of a word. with caps lock and w it is fast and easy. with standard vo keys on the bottom left I had to reach my right hand way over to the w key, and this was quite a contortion just to hear what word I was on, I don't need to do this any more. I do it all with my left hand never leaving the home row keys. Hope this info helps. Eric Caron
