This has me curious. If I press the triple-click without CMD, it just brings up the accessibility menu. Does anyone know if there's some touch-bar setting that would impact this? Cheers, Donna > On Jun 16, 2019, at 1:58 PM, Julie Rattray wrote: > > Thanks Tim yes I honestly love my Touch B

Hi, That might be one of the issues - I like you don’t use windows and have no intention of doing so - so for me the Touch Bar works well and I love the new Macs I have to say. I find that I can do things I didn’t before which is great - so perhaps we should just keep beating the drum for the

This makes me feel better, I also love my Mac with the Touch Bar and even though there aren’t physical buttons the function keys are still available. I read quite a view bad reviews in the blind community on how bad the Touch Bar is I was feeling like I was the odd one out for liking it. I know

Yes and no, It depends on what new mac book pro you get. The devices with touch bar have no function keys as such but they do have options to use in place of the function keys Otherwise do what I did and just purchase one of the models with the function keys that is the non touch bar models

Thanks Tim yes I honestly love my Touch Bar now and find that I use formatting tools much more than I used to and can create better documents because it is quicker to change fonts and styles etc once you get used to how the Touch Bar works. I also find that I can turn VO on and off just with th

Hi, That was an excellent synopsis Julie. The only thing that I'd add is that many of the functions you're used to using with VO, such as VO-f8, can easily be accessed without using the TouchBar itself. You can add FN to your key combination and just press the #8. So, for VO-f8, press VO-FN-

Hi, If you use an apple phone or an iPad I don’t think you will find it difficult - I switched to a MacBook with the Touch Bar and got the hang of it really quickly. At the write hand end you get a kind of stable set of buttons which link to the control panel so things like volume etc - just t
