Hello David, I'll just add a comment stating that I also got a 17-key numeric keypad when I first wanted to experiment with NumPad Commander on my Mac laptop -- the Lenovo 33L3225 USB Numeric keypad, which is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. At the time, nearly 3 years ago, th

No - I have to typed 60-80,000 words on my PHD thesis. So i estimate 100,000 words as a conservative estimate when taking into account note taking and drafting. Admittedly I already have a lot of material written but as you say off topic so I will end here. On 19 Dec 2011, at 03:25, Rachel

Dear Esther As always a very helpful post. I can confirm that after experimentation the numpad accessory that I bought does indeed have the limitations that you describe. There is also a problem on my particular device that there is no insert key or equals key. This means that you cannot use

Hi David, I've been meaning to reply to your post, but was getting a bit confused as to whether my reply should be on this list or on the mac-access list, where you also posted this question. I haven't had an opportunity to do extensive testing, but I'll try to summarize a few points that may

Will, you used to have to hold the Voice Over keys and navigate with the arrow keys. Quick Nav basically locks you into Voice Over mode so you don't need to hold down the VO keys. It also allows you to rotate through the rotor. HTH Keith On Dec 14, 2011, at 2:03 AM, Cheree Heppe wrote: > Che

This is especially true now with quicknav. I know, everyone has their own preference for what's comfortable to them. but, for me, quicknav was a huge improvement. On Dec 12, 2011, at 3:42 AM, Mr. L. Alexander wrote: > nope. all the main interface is with the normal keyboard layout. numpad
