Hi Folks, This is another instance where I must be missing something obvious. Is there a key combo that can be pressed to force a link to open in a new browser window? For example, if I'm on the macworld.com homepage and am navigating through the list of stories and I decide I want to read one

Hi Bryan, Either Command-Click or Command-Option-Click when you're focused on a link should open the link in a new Safari window. Which one you use depends on your Safari preferences settings for tabs. If you have the pop up menu selection for Open pages in tabs instead of windows set to

Hello Esther, Thank you for your response I should have clarified that I'm able to use the Command+physical mouse / trackpad click to open a link in a new window, , but I was hoping to find a keyboard alternative to doing this without using the physical mouse / trackpad. i'm not counting the

Hi Ian, Sarah's already described how to use spell-check. I also use an AppleScript to do the word and character count in TextEdit, although not the same one as Travis uses, I think. By the way, the link to the word count script at the softcon site comes up with a File not found message.

Yep. You can hit cmd option shift enter to open in a new window but you must check press tab to highlight items in advance. If I'm wrong let me know as it has been since the release of lion since I had to change the setting. On Dec 24, 2011, at 10:40 AM, Bryan Jones wrote: Hi Folks, This is

Hello Bryan, The options that show up in a context menu have to be coded that way, I think. I have a vague recollection from when iTunes was transitioning in accessibility that there was an instance where the options that appeared with VO-Shift-M were different from what you got when you used
