Re: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard
In this case it was stumbling rather than diligence. I suddenly had a flash of an idea, and said to myself: "I wonder what would happen if I press ... these keys".

Re: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard
The keyboard I have has an aluminum frame and is very light. It's also a fraction of an inch thick. I'd use it with a case, as the plastic keys look a bit fragile. I always use my passcode for my iPod now, since my previous one was stolen. Luckily, I'd just started using the passcode on that one, too, and it erased the content after ten attempts to use the passcode. I haven't discovered an equivalent keystroke for the escape command on this keyboard.

Re: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard
On that specific keyboard, do you know of an equivalent keyboard command which simulates the Escape key? If not too much trouble, what are the dimensions of your keyboard? I'm considering a small keyboard which I can carry with me. The Amazon basics is actually kinda small itself, about 4" X 10" X .8", but I'm looking to find something smaller. . I will say that I do like that when my iDevice turns off automatically, I need only press a key on the keyboard, and I'm placed on my home screen without having to go through the lock screen.

Re: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard
Hi Teresa and others, I've not read anyone post a solution to your question regarding moving apps out of folders, so try this... 1. Navigate inside of a folder within one of your home screens and pick an app. (Using the keyboard you use arrow keys to find a folder on a Home screen then press up and down arrow to open the folder.) 2. Once the app has been chosen press VO+Shift+letter M. You should get audio feedback and a message confirming you can now move the app. 3. Press the Escape key once. You will hear the sound informing you that you've moved outside a folder. You are now on the main Home screen which contains the original folder you opened. 4. Execute the keyboard command which is the equivalent of pressing the Home button: VO+Letter H. 5. You will find the app at the bottom of the list of apps. Please let me know if this works for you or not, and we'll try something else. Note: I'm using the Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard, and I have found that using this keyboard to execute various iOS related procedures is very buggy. At times I can execute many commands and procedures quite quickly and easily, and at other times I cannot get the keyboard to do what I can quickly do using the touch screen. I'm only mentioning this because someone using a Bluetooth keyboard to complete some of these tasks might believe he or she is doing something wrong, but so far it appears to be a very, very buggy and frustrating experience to use a keyboard with an iOS device. Maybe this frustration is only associated with the Amazon Basics keyboard, but I really don't think so. Hopefully the reader will have a different experience, but if you are facing difficulties, this buggy behavior might be the reason. Just trying to save some of you some hassles, but undoubtedly I'm going to get "that's not happening to me!," so all I can say is good for you. Oh yeah, I'm using an iPod Touch 5th with latest update.

Hi, all, I just used this command and realized I had forgotten to mention a tricky aspect of it. Once you have used the move command the second time, the app will not appear to VO in your folder until you leave edit mode.

List processing tips [was "Re: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard"]
Although there's nothing wrong with providing tips and best practices on how best to handle mail, I think it's important to point out that there are over 1,000 members of this list, and these members are using different email clients, check their mail at different times and use different practices depending on what's best for them. I only check my personal email once a day now, and I've always been in the habit of checking all of my email before I start responding. This helps cut down on duplicate messages, because once I see a question I can answer has been answered, I don't need to reply. There are others though who will respond to an email when they see it, and even though I might point out how I think my way is more efficient for the list as a whole, it's more efficient for them to deal with an email when they see it and not wait until later when they may be distracted. Things like one line messages, not changing subject lines and hijacking threads are other things that interfere with the efficient processing of list email, but it's best to leave the policing of these bad habits to the moderators. Self appointed moderators tend to generate more list traffic than they eliminate. Personally I adjust to the list I join, and I learned a while ago not to try to change a list and get everyone to adopt my reading habits. On 07/02/2014 12:20 PM, Joseph FreeTech wrote: LOL. Noe, you're completely wrong about the other day. I posted the link for the sake of the list and not just that person. And really, whose going to go out of their way to do what you suggested when it appears it is much easier to post a request essentially asking someone else to do it for the person interested. In short, I probably prevented a few posts asking for clarification on how to delete and enter new country characters for the iTunes store. Regarding reading messages, I'm not stating one study each message, but I'm suggesting maybe people should quickly scan them for information they might find useful now or in the near future. this simple step is very easily and quickly done and can cut down on many often unnecessary duplicate posts. Sorry, but I'm definitely Type A and am endlessly hopeful others will adopt the same mindset for simple tasks as they relate to this list.

Also, and I mean no offense, you just a few days ago posted a link to a English-French dictionary which Ann Roberts had posted. Ann posted the name of the app, the developer as well as the link from the French app store as she is from France. She also correctly pointed out that one only has to replace the "fr" in the link with "US" to view the same app on the US app store; in short, all the information required was there for anybody to find this app. However, you posted a message right afterwards with the US app store link which, in my opinion, also was redundant. I know you probably don't like to hear that since it appears you take any sort of criticism as a personal insult, but fair is fair and while what you said about posting he same information is true, simply posting this information doesn't really contribute either *smile*.

esa Cochran" To: Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 8:39 AM Subject: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard Hi, all, I've done this several times reliably, so I'm going to outline it here, since there's been some discussion of it in recent threads. Turn on VO sounds. This will make it easier to detect audio feedback while moving. Find the app you want to move. Press VO-shift-M. Voiceover will say "moving" and the name of the app. Use the arrow keys to move the app. VO will announce your position and say "is editing". Go to the page indicator. It's easiest to use the up and down arrow keys instead of option-arrows to move from page to page. I haven't been able to get the second method to work while in edit mode. Once you get to a folder, simply press the VO-shift-M command again. VO will say "opening folder" and the name of the folder. Now your app should be nside the folder you've specified.

Nice try Alex, but as I have said, this list is not for the purpose of advertising other sites at the expense of VIPhone. I.E. Rather than encouraging people to post to AppleVis rather than to this list is simply using this list to promote AppleVis and that sort of thing, as you already know, is not welcome here. People are more than welcome to seek info wherever they choose and both AppleVis and this list are two such places to find such information. The point here is to give equal time to each of the various information sources, not to have one over the other. So please, this is a friendly warning to you. Do not do this again here on this list. AppleVis is a valuable resource and I would hope that the staff there view this list equally so. Have a great day...

RE: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard
Hi Joseph, You need to lighten up some and not be so critical. You have to realize that there are many people on this list and new people coming on the list. Also there are many of us old farts that don't always understand some of these things the first time we read them. So if someone post another email explaining how they do something that might just help new members on the list or old farts like me that learn very slow. I appreciate all of the example or info other people give as I might not understand everything on one person's email but then on another person's email I might understand there example better. So don't complain when someone else gives there example how they do something compared to how you do it. Just remember when you started out learning something new it took a while to understand and learn all the slang and operating systems. When you get old like me and learning new things you will know what us old farts are talking about. Also just for your info I have been learning Jaws, Zoomtext, IOS and other things as my vision has now been going down as to where I cannot see much on the screen and had to learn all these programs and operating systems on my own.

Re: Here's How to Move Apps Into a Folder With a Bluetooth Keyboard
LOL. Noe, you're completely wrong about the other day. I posted the link for the sake of the list and not just that person. And really, whose going to go out of their way to do what you suggested when it appears it is much easier to post a request essentially asking someone else to do it for the person interested. In short, I probably prevented a few posts asking for clarification on how to delete and enter new country characters for the iTunes store. Regarding reading messages, I'm not stating one study each message, but I'm suggesting maybe people should quickly scan them for information they might find useful now or in the near future. this simple step is very easily and quickly done and can cut down on many often unnecessary duplicate posts. Sorry, but I'm definitely Type A and am endlessly hopeful others will adopt the same mindset for simple tasks as they relate to this list.
