Shannon, You might want to look into an item called the web rotor. The command you want is the O-u. This enables you to navigate by links, headings, or whatever, just as in more familiar programs. With this particular case, I might also suggest these Safari reader, command-shift-R. This declutte

Hi Shanon, I’m presuming you’re in the Mail preferences, Accounts section, when you try to add another account. If you click the new account button, you’ll find radio buttons for preconfigured types, and a final “Other Account,” button. This should help. Best, Zack. On Oct 31, 2013, at 7:31 AM,

Hi Shanon, The reader doesn’t work on every page, sadly. It will work on most articles and similar content, and when it does is a huge timesaver. :) It’s also available on iOS, if you have an iPhone or similar. About the web rotor, all I can say is keep fiddling with it. Takes some getting used

2013-11-03 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi, You can use vo-end or vo-home to jump to the beginning or end of a table. As for lists, perhaps you might look into groups mode? I believe they are treated as separate entities in that case, and you can use the same keystroke to jumpy o their ends. Best, Zack. On Nov 3, 2013, at 10:18 AM, Pa

Re: How to change where the insertion point is when entering text

Hi Andy, You need to double tap on the text field, and generally use the rotor to navigate to wherever you want to continue typing. Note that this was made a bit harder under iOS 7, as VO seems to move in text fields if you accidentally tap them. I presume you’re talking about iOS here, and not
