user I haven't ever really paid attention to that. OK, so now here is my problem. I have found the command in text edit to change font size by pressing command with either dash or plus. I assumed that if I did a command a to select all then either of these commands it would change the

Thanks. I’m hoping this is a temporary problem. I’m doing some file manipulation to get around bugs in a beta version of a program that hopefully will soon be fixed. Mostly asking to get a feel of how folks that have been using the Mac a lot longer than I have would deal with it. Based on tr

Thanks. I can’t find the line separator but it saves a step to do the newline. option-t produces “dagger.” Since VO normally says “tab” when encountering a tab character, I’m not sure if that’s the right thing. I’ll be playing with it more tomorrow. > On Nov 26, 2016, at 7:50 PM, Phil Halt

Also, if this is something you are regularly doing then creating a sed or perl or python script might be worthwhile. The line s/\t/ / will find all tabs and replace them with 8 spaces. There are "tidy" programs that are often used for learning up program source code that are just more co

I'm pretty sure that option T will insert the tab character, and most likely option return or perhaps shift return or some combination thereof will insert the line separator character. I know you can get linefeed with option return. Sent from my IPhone > On Nov 26, 2016, at 5:13 PM, Larry Thac

Finding special characters in Text Edit

I need to be able to find formatting characters in a text document and change or remove them. I’ve found that I can copy them to the clipboard and then paste them into the search and replace fields, but I wonder if there’s a better way. For example, I frequently want to change something Voiceo

Hi Anne, That switch makes sense. On the occasions when I did use those commands, I remember that the results seemed unpredictable, and that sometimes nothing would happen at all. This probably explains that. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 26, 2016, at 11:34 AM, Anne Robertson wrote: > > Hello Donna

Hello Donna, The commands you’re thinking about are Go to first or last visible item and Go to First or Last Item. These were switched round in El Capitan. To me, this makes sense for a VO user who normally doesn’t care what’s visible or not. So now, VO-Home goes to first item and not first vis
