Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Garth, You do not have to sugarcoat feature requests. In fact the more you are short and concise ensures there is no room for confusion. I suspect Apple did not use the caps lock key since people do use the key for entering text etc. Apple obviously selected a key combination they felt would not interfere with any other applications, which is a common problem with windows screen readers. Although I encourage all feature requests, I'm not sure APple will make this possible really soon in my opinion. I think the best you might hope for is that you can set the key or key combination yourself. COnsider that only JAWS users are going to want the caps lock key, WIndow-Eyes users will want the insert key and/or control key, and lord knows what the other screen readers use. In any case sorry if I misinterpreted what you were trying to say.

All I was saying is that it seemed pretty weird to me that this wasn't supported and frankly the sort of thing that I would have assumed would have been long ago added. You are right about the quick nav keys and the trackpad commander making the VO keys less necessary. I guess my point is that I think we should make requests of apple to add features we believe would improve the overal user experience and efficiency of using theOSX platform. This of course applies to the reporting of bugs as well. If something is broken or could be improved then write Apple Accessibility about it. This is how we can help to make things better. After all, things have improved since Tiger, ie, the afore mentioned quick nav and track pad commander have been added. Maybe this was because of feedback maybe not but I would assume that if the only feedback apple got about VO was how wonderful it was then they would not have bothered improving it. I am sorry that my assertion that sugarcoating wasn't necessary was interpreted as rude and demanding. This was not my intent. I was just marvelling at how polite Eric was in his request to Apple. I was not criticising it. My approach though would be to be a little more direct. That is, if it is a feature request then just state the request and explain the benefit. If it is a bug report then explain the bug and the steps to replicate it. The apple employees are I would assume professionals and would take this kind of approach just as seriously as one that was sugarcoated. I am sorry if I have offended anyone. I do feel that it is important that we help to address issues rather than just wishing it would get better. All the best Garth .

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Hi I couldn't agree more. We should definately be able to configure the caps lock as the VO keys. Not because this is the way that other screen readers do it but because it is in my opinion a smart way of having it. The caps lock key is for most people hardly ever used.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Oh no, then I will have to get used to something else? Oh no! :) :) :) Just kidding, I believe it makes sense what you are saying. But Mac has a lot of keyboard shortcuts and options, so I think that is why they made vo keys to be a combination to insure no conflicts and also no overlaps, so we could also enjoy of mac native or customizable shortcut keys. But I am with you, one key would work well! Although, I confess more and more I go away for the regular vo keys.

FOr example, can you perform a VO-l using the VO keys on the right side of the keyboard? If so, I am impressed. Maybe that is not what you intended. :) On Sep 13, 2011, at 9:03 AM, Keith Watson wrote: Hi all, Just a quick question about how you MBP / MBA / Bluetooth Keyboard owners deal with not having your VO keys on the right hand side of the keyboard.

Re: Laptop / Bluetooth vs. Standard Keyboard
Hey Scott, haha The joke was for you! but the Question for Keith, I was asking about his type of keyboard. I am also an MBP user! :) So I am glad my nightmare was short! :) Cheers, Rachel.

So,not a dream, but a nightmare and worse yet, I am not Keith. :) Scott Howell Sent from my iPad On Sep 13, 2011, at 17:23, Rachel magario maga...@gmail.com wrote: You are such a nice friend Scott! ha ha ha I think, I might have had a friend like you who scrubbed mine uncovered skills too. I think I might have to hunt down whoever it was, to recover them! ;) Now seriously, I thought the option and control in the standard were in both sides, correct Keith? So we could use vo in the right or in the left depending upon the need. Am i right, or was just a dream? Please, don't judge me so hard if it was a dream. :) I never touched one, so I don't claim full responsibility! :) out of the tip of the finger, out of mind. But not free from the imagination! ha ha ha RM On Sep 13, 2011, at 3:27 PM, Scott Howell wrote: Gee Keith I do just fine. Its called using those undiscovered skills in being flexible.
