Re: battery status

[Phil Halton]

there's a podcast on Applevis.com about a battery app that deals with all 
things battery. David Woodbridge did the podcast, and a search on the site for 
"battery" will probably bring it up.

RE: battery status

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hi, 

When I first got my MBA about 2 1/2 months ago, I had the same question.
Over the weekend, I finally got my first alert when the MBA went down to 5%.
So, you stated that you were plugging in at 7%, which would not trip the
alert. I have no idea if this alert can be changed like increasing it to
10%. I was wondering if other more seasoned Mac users can chime in on how to
configure the battery alert percentage to be increased or to have a shortcut
on the desktop to access this info instead of opening the status menu. 

Thanks. 

Eileen

Hello,
Is there a way on the Mac to get an alert when the battery is at 20%
and/or10% as is the case on the iPhone?  Mine is at 7% now-about to plug it

Hello,
Is there a way on the Mac to get an alert when the battery is at 20% and/or10% 
as is the case on the iPhone?  Mine is at 7% now—about to plug it in, an so

You can also hit voice over plus shift plus K to enable keyboard commander.This 
works for disabling as well.

 Hello,
 
 In addition to Sarah & Phil’s responses, I’ll add the following:
 1. There is a built-in hotkey to announce the date & time. The hotkey is 
 Right Option + T. I believe this hotkey is disabled by default. To enable 
 it, press VO+F8 to open the VO Utility, select Commanders, select the 
 Keyboard Tab, then tick the box to Enable Keyboard Commander. This will 
 also enable you to launch Safari by pressing Right-Option + S, and to 
 launch Mail by pressing Right Option + M.
 
 2. My personal preference for finding form fields or other web elements is 
 to use the web rotor, which is accessed by pressing VO+U while on a web 
 page. Once the web rotor is open, use the left and right arrow keys to 
 move between categories of web items e.g. Links, Headings, Form Fields, 
 etc), then use the up and down arrow keys to move through a list of the 
 available items in that category. Once you’ve found the desired item, 
 press Return or VO+Spacebar to move focus to that item on the website.

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

Actually I do have it checked. it is still slow, the first time, between 15 and 
30 seconds. I timed it once. I think even my friend's mac book pro quad core 
with 8 gigs is painfully  slow this way as well.

Take care. ah well. I'll just stick to ctrl f8 and vo right to time. as it is 
much faster. lol!

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

[Red . Falcon]

Oops I should of said Option+T and most of the time it works straight away!
Hi Sarah!
The only thing I can think of for you to get such a slow reaction from Option+T 
is because you might not have the [Allow voice over to be controlled by apple 
scripts] checked in the general part of VO+f8
If you have this checked I do not know why it is slow for you!
When I hit Control+T the time is red out within 2 to 3 seconds!

The reason I don't teach that at all is the key board short cut works but it is 
so slow, it's way way quicker to go to the extras menu. It takes about 30 
seconds for tghe key stroke about 10 to 15 once you get the hang on your vo

Acutaly ctrl f8 is quicker in my optinion. It takes less fingers and it's ony 1 
press of a key stroke.

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

[Red.Falcon]

Hi!
And yet further to what has been said! *smile*
To make sure that the shortcuts work properly when you go to VO+f8 you should 
be on the general option arrow right until you find [allow voice over to be 
controlled by apple scripts] and make sure that is checked!
Then you can press command+8 to take you straight to commanders to switch them 
on!
Also if you are using Mountain Lion you have the option to use either [option 
key] or even both I have it set to use both!

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

[Andy Collins]

I find using VO and pressing letter m twice is the quickest way to access menu 
extras, for checking battery etc. Checking the time might already be set up via 
hot keys, by default. On my Macbook Air it was. The keystroke is right option 
key with letter t.

As for going back a webpage, CMD left bracket does this  -

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

[Bryan Jones]

Hello,

In addition to Sarah & Phil’s responses, I’ll add the following:
1. There is a built-in hotkey to announce the date & time. The hotkey is Right 
Option + T. I believe this hotkey is disabled by default. To enable it, press 
VO+F8 to open the VO Utility, select Commanders, select the Keyboard Tab, then 
tick the box to Enable Keyboard Commander. This will also enable you to launch 
Safari by pressing Right-Option + S, and to launch Mail by pressing Right 
Option + M.

2. My personal preference for finding form fields or other web elements is to 
use the web rotor, which is accessed by pressing VO+U while on a web page. Once 
the web rotor is open, use the left and right arrow keys to move between 
categories of web items e.g. Links, Headings, Form Fields, etc), then use the 
up and down arrow keys to move through a list of the available items in that 
category. Once you’ve found the desired item, press Return or VO+Spacebar to 
move focus to that item on the website.

HTH,
Bryan

Re: checking battery status and time, finding edit box on webpage, going back a page?

[Phil Halton]

Actually, command shift comma won't get you into the preferences window for 
safari. just use  command comma.

Another way to find edit boxes in a safari webpage is to turn on quicknav, and 
press the letter "f" for form fields, then turn off quickNav in order to type 
in the edit field
each press of "f" while in quicknav will move you to the next form field, with 
shift "f" moving you back to the previous field.
Quick Nav  is turned on and off by pressing the left and right  arrows 
simultaneously. .

to do this, the easy way for now, hit cmd shift and the symbol below the k  key 
from with in safari. then interact with the tool bar, then  vo (control option) 
all the way to the right to advanced and vo space on it. Next stop interacting 
and go to the place where it says use tab to highlight elements on the page and 
press space to check that. Close the window with cmd w. Now you can hit option 
tab and option shift tab to move through *all* form controls.

Re: Battery status

[Bryan Jones]

Hi Catherine,

Here's one way to do it. The following steps assume you are running OSX Lion 
10.7.2.
1. Make sure your system is set to display the battery status in the menu bar. 
You can do this by checking the check box under the battery tab of the Energy 
Saver preference pane.
2. Press VO+M+M to move the VO focus to the status menu, which is located on 
the right side of the menu bar along the top of your screen.
3. Press VO+left or right arrow repeatedly until you reach the battery status 
icon, whereupon you should hear something like "Battery 80 percent remaining" 
or " Battery charged."

HTH,
Bryan
