NP, it's just something of which to be aware. Sometimes tethering the mouse can help if an app requires a lot of mouse presses and doesn't respond to VoiceOver default operations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to

Hello guys, There has been many discussions on how to select text on the web, and navigating with just the arrow keys which is a new feature added in Snow Leopard. Before, I could only get this to work occasionally. I have found a way that works 100% of the time. When you are on the site

right, I forgot to mention I have all my cursors following each other. So if you don't have your mouse following the VO cursor, you press VO shift F5 to move mouse cursor to Vo cursor before pressing VO command shift spacebar. On Mar 12, 2010, at 11:39 AM, Sarah Alawami wrote: Usually wen I

Hi, You know, it's kind of strange why you should have to use a solution like this to do it in the first place. Thanks, though. Most of the time it's worked for me without it, but I'll try it. :) It's still a bit flaky, and it should still be fixed regardless. I noticed that at first, I

Hello Jorge, Ricardo, and Others, I haven't been following this thread in detail, but the usual reason for having your cursors tracking (or, at least, having your Mouse cursor follows VoiceOver cursor checked under the Navigation options for VoiceOver Utility) is because you need to click

Right, I just find that having my cursors follow one another works for me. Especially in Garageband where I use my number pad as arrows to drag and drop loops into my projects. I don't have that many stability issues anymore. I was having a lot of problems when Snow Leopard was first

I thought it might be worth mentioning, since we're on the subject of cursor routing, that I find one compelling reason to not have the mouse following the VO cursor. I have found that, in several application programs, when the mouse follows the voiceover cursor, Voiceover does not accurately

Hi Slau, First, I would like to say I really enjoy sessions with Slau on blindcooltech. But as far as the menus with mouse cursor following VO cursor I have found this not to be a real problem. Your right that it won't show all the items in the menu bar but, the things they don't show are
