Hi, Alex. I thought doing VO shift page up and page down reads either the previous or next paragraph. I tried doing this command in Safari when I was reading an article, and nothing happened. Should I just do option down or up arrow to read paragraphs instead? By the way, thanks for your description on how the cursor behaves with Voiceover on the Mac. This makes more sense now. I used to use outSPOKEN last time I was on a Mac with OS 9 and the cursor navigation works the same way.

Yes. Cmd-left/right moves to the start or end of the line, up/down to the top or bottom of the edit field. Option-left/right moves by word, up/down by paragraph. Add shift to select by the movement instead of just moving by it.

Hello,

Thanks to you both, I'll play with it again next time I boot the mini.

Also are there commands for moving to the beginning and end of a line? Including the highlighting of that line? To the top and to the bottom?


Thanks.

Gena

Also, it is important to disabe quicknav when editing. As to cursor tracking, just leave the vo defaults for cursors following each other and you should be fine.

Hi,

I think this might be a case of you not being use to how the cursor acts on the Mac. On the Mac, the cursor position depends on the direction your navigating in. If navigating to the right, the cursor is located to the right of the last character or word spoken by Voiceover. If moving to the left, the cursor is located to the left of the last character or word spoken.

Hello All,

I'm struggling to have fluent cursor tracking. Whether it's the mail app, pages or safari's search field. It seems VO is not reporting the cursor position correctly. As there are several ways of using VO i.e. VO cursor locked to cursor, locked to mouse etc. How do I get the best cursor tracking when editing text?

Thanks.
