Hi Slau, and thanks to you and others for replies so far.
First, to clarify, I do actually want to route the VO cursor to the keyboard
cursor, so sorry if I added confusion to an already hard to explain operation.
Second, the import file workaround won't do what I wanted, because as somebody
else pointed out, the WorkSpace is the only method which serches through files
on all meta-data and across many folders.
Thirdly, I'll try the OreoMonster's right-click idea and report back.
Fourthly, here's one more try at explaining the scenario.
After searching for, say, heavy rain, or whatever it might be, I have maybe a
hundred results from a large effects library. If I press 'audition', then I
can down arrow, and quickly hear the start of each file. But, when I find one
I need, I want to route the VO-cursor to it, so that I can use VO-shift-M,
which then lets me either spot it to the edit cursor, or reveal it in finder.
At the moment, I have to try to count down the list, and then re-locate it with
the VO-cursor.
The right-click method may do the trick and I'll try it ASAP, but if anybody
knows a simpler reliable way, please do say.
Best,
Peter

Hi Peter,
The key combination you mention is not used by Flo Tools but, more importantly,
what that combination does is the opposite of what you're saying you're trying
to do. It routes VoiceOver to the keyboard focused item rather than the other
way around. Hope that clears things up.

Hi All,
I'm not sure whether this is a FloTools keystroke conflict, but in my continuing fight to
tame the workspace, which I'll explain below in case anyone can help further, I need to
route the highlight cursor to the VO cursor. The keystroke for this should be
VO-shift-F4, but when I press that VO speaks "presets", and the routing doesn't
happen.
Be that as it may, I've been trying for months now to find a really good
workflow for auditioning files from the workspace window. Thanks to your
suggestions so far, I'm further on than I was, so using hot-spots helps a lot,
but still, when I have a hundred or more files to audition, what I'm trying to
do is quickly hear the beginning of each file whilst arrowing down. This works,
but when I then find a file I want to use, I can't easily use the context-menu
to 'reveal in finder' for example, because the VO-cursor doesn't follow the
arrowing. That is why I was hoping to route the VO-cursor to the list, but no
joy.
If you're still with me, then thanks for your patience, and can you suggest any
work-around or method to make this process more productive?
Best,
Peter
