Re: selecting more than one item in mavericks

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Mike,

To select multiple non-contiguous items in Mavericks, press VO-Cmd-Return to 
enter selection mode, then press the same combination to select the first item. 
Navigate using the VO keys to the next desired item and press the same 
combination again. Do this until you have selected all your items and the next 
different keystroke will take you out of selection mode.

There is no need to turn cursor tracking off just as there was no need to do so 
under Mountain Lion.

This command is found in the Commands menu as Toggle Multiple Selection On or 
Off in the General submenu.

Cheers,

Anne

selecting more than one item in mavericks

[Mike Arrigo]

Hey everyone, ok, I guess something has changed with voiceover in 
mavericks, does anyone know what the key stroke is now to select more 
than one item? Previously, you would turn cursor tracking off, move the 
voiceover cursor to each item and press vo command space. However, this 
key stroke now displays a list of actions you can do with the item, the 
only option in the voiceover help menu for selecting items is vo enter, 
but this does not select more than one item at a time.
