Re: disclosure triangles?
when you hear the words disclosure triangle this is an icon representing that a folder has sub folders. as an example, if you're in mail and you have a directory like G-MAIL, this contains sub directories such as sent and deleted items, etc. interacting with this component is like any other. interact then VO + space to open the sub directories. I hope this helps. lew On 29 Apr 2012, at 17:43, Alex Hall wrote: Hi all, As I go through mail messages, and sometimes in other places, I hear 'disclosure triangle.

Re: disclosure triangles?
Disclosure triangles are a way to hide or reveal extra info or options. If the disclosure triangle is collapsed, the extra options are hidden and if it is expanded they are displayed. Press VO+Space to toggle a disclosure triangle. In mail, expanding a disclosure triangle shows the list of messages in a thread. These can also be expanded and collapsed with the right and left arrow keys.

Re: disclosure triangles?
Okay, thanks. I found that cmd-right oens threads in mail, and cmd-left closes them. VO-space brings me to some kind of menu, and left/right alone do nothing (though I have Quick Nav on, which likely explains this last). Oh, come to think of it, I didn't interact with the message first, only the messages table, so that's probably why vo-space failed.

Re: disclosure triangles?
Quick nab would explain why the arrow keys alone don't work. As for VO+space, I am only interacting with the table as well. Sometimes this works less reliably than others though. -Greg On Apr 29, 2012, at 1:55 PM, Alex Hall wrote: Okay, thanks. I found that cmd-right oens threads in mail, and cmd-left closes them.

Re: disclosure triangles? How to open/close them?

Re: disclosure triangles? How to open/close them?
hey Jennie, you can open and close disclosure triangles with VO backslash. I have to do that to open the various categories for iTunes radio and it works great!!
