Maybe I'm taking your message out of context, but it seems my question has
either, 1, offended you, or 2, makes you think I"m complaining/stupid for
asking. I'm sorry if I irritated you, as your tones seems to be implying.
I just was asking a question.

Subject: Re: I O S: What's the point of the edit rotor setting?
Because its easier, quicker and keeps constancy with the entire roter
method. Why swipe left or right when you can move your finger round until
you find what you want. Sighted people don't swipe that way.
A good system will try to have more than 1 way to do something as people
have different likes and methods.
Personally, I like the edit roter as even though I can do it another way, I
find it quicker and I'm very used to using the roter all the time.

OK, this might seem like a really odd question, but hear me out here.
What is the point of the edit rotor option when in a text box? Before you
start explaining to me what it does, no no no... that's not what I'm
asking. I know what it does!, but, why?
See, here's the thing... If you are on a text field, or honestly, for
that mind, a text message, etc. if you double tap on the content, and
leave your finger on the screen after the second tap, then after hearing
the 3 little pass gesture through bleep tone, you then lift your finger,
you'll hear another little popup sound. It's the same sound you get when
I O S is trying to auto-correct. Now, if you flick right from that text
box, text message, etc. etc. you'll see that right there you have menu
options like select, select all, copy, paste, etc. And before anyone
says, yeah, but tapping on them doesn't work, that's why you need the
rotor... Oh, you wanna make a bet they don't work? I just did it over
here, and they work perfectly! I can't figure out in the edit rotor
setting nor in this method how to select a portion of text without
selecting all. We had this discussion once on list, about pinching in and
out to select, but no matter what I try, and apparently by far I'm not the
only one who's had issues, I can't get it to work regardless what I do.
Anyway, that's not the point. Point being, why make a rotor setting for
this stuff, when doing it the non-voiceover way like normal... pardon the
pun, sighted people would do, works perfectly? Isn't that kind of a
waiste of source code? What 'em I missing here? Just seems a bit
redundant. Is it more just a preference thing one may like doing it one
way where another might like the other way, or is there actually a
specific reason why to do one over the other?
Chris.
