Re: Discovered something in Safari
Hey Alex I'm just glad it works! Before, I used to go to finder to check this because I have been led to believe that you can check the things. Any improvements come down the line, I'll take them.

Re: Discovered something in Safari
Right, that's what I mean. Instead of each row being a group with which you must again interact, I wish it would just be a proper table, with file name in the first column, download status in the second, and so on, so you need only interact with the table to start exploring. Right now, you interact with the table, find the item you want, interact again, then move left or right until you find the information. Putting downloads into a table, and not these groups, just seems a more efficient way of doing things, from a vo perspective anyway.

Re: Discovered something in Safari
Hi Alex. Mine did say table when I got on the list of items. I didn't find it to be a problem, once I figured I had to interact. I only had to interact once for each download I was testing.

Re: Discovered something in Safari
Yes, that new cmd-option=l keystroke is really handy, I just wish the items were in a table instead of each item being a group that requires even more interaction. Also, the enter key seems random, and I have no idea if it's a vo thing, an osx thing, or a web coding thing on the part of the website being used at the time. I avoid it and use vo-space (made easier since I mapped caps lock to the vo keys) or the quicknav command.

Discovered something in Safari
Hi guys. I just discovered something while downloading books from BARD. Maybe some of you guys knew about this, but I sure didn't. Maybe somebody else here didn't know either. I had a problem downloading three of my books while on BARD. I had to go ahead and quit Safari, erase the old zip files, find the books again, and start over. I've never had this happen before, but their computer must have been having a problem. I had gotten my sighted husband to check the download progress because ours truly hadn't figured out how. He left the room, and I decided to try something. After pressing option command l and getting the list, I then got desperate and interacted with the title of one of them. And lo, when I pressed VO right arrow, there was the progress indicator. I ended up fixing my problem, so all's well. I also have just discovered, at least in Bard, that the return key is working instead of control option space on those links. This is definitely better than what has been happening with that command lately. Did it get changed or something?
