I haven't ben on a lot of sites since seeing this message, but I don't believe
this is the case. Some sites do put in keyboard handlers that forget to allow
default actions for keys they don't use perhaps you are running into that?

Hi All,
Another issue I found now is that I can't navigate web pages by simple arrow up
or down keys. This used to be an extremely useful way of moving around pages,
especially when it comes to tutorials, scientific articles or others.
is there some setting in the VO preferences which allow me

Thank you, Dawn

Hello Steve,
Safari Reader is a normal part of Safari. You press Cmd-Shift-r, wait a second
or two, and VoiceOver starts reading the article. The beauty of it is that it
brings together all the pages without you having to click on "Next page".
Cheers,

What is Safari Reader? is that just part of the normal web browser or
is that something else. Sorry for silly question.

I have another question for this subject; I thought I had read that

I've tried both, but I have no idea which is better, or even what the
difference really is. I have read the help for it, and I am very
familiar with what a DOM is, but i can't see a difference between the
functionality of both modes when I'm using either one.
Yes, I have the arrow keys down well en
Up / down arrows will move the web rotar selection and left right will move by
chunks. Do you use Group or Dom navigation?

Hello Alex,
All the VO commands are shown in the commands menus which you get to by
pressing VO-h-h.
When in a text area, you need to interact for VO commands to work. However,
usually, you can navigate using just the arrow keys. As for editing text, the
insertion point is always between two c
How, on both counts? arrowing, even in text areas, never has seemed
very consistent; I find myself guessing until I find what I want.
Maybe quick nav complicates things, I don't know. I didn't know you

Hello Alex,
Even with Quick Nav on, you can still use the normal VO commands to navigate by
character, word, line, sentence, etc. You can also lock the VO keys to minimise
the number of keys to be pressed.
Cheers,

I have quick nav on. However, the left/right arrows don't seem to
navigate reliably (I ended up at the bottom of a page, and you can't
read by smaller chunks inside, say, a paragraph of text). Say you're
reading an article and aren't sure how an oddly spoken phrase is
spelled. On Windows, or in an
Hi,
I haven't had much luck with chrome vox. All it does is crash chrome on my
machine. If you want to just navigate with arrows, you should just turn on
quick nav by pressing the left and right arrow keys at the same time.

I've heard of Chromevox and I even tried it a while back, but I found it
confusing and difficult to work with. Still, if I can arrow around, it might be
worth looking into again. Are there any podcasts on it?

You might want to try using chrome vox. If you hit the command key twice while
in chromevox then all the shortcuts are able to be done without holding down
command-control. Chrome Vox does do things a bit different for arrows. Up/Down

Hi all,
I am using Chrome for a web browser, and I have a few questions about reading
and navigating web pages.
1. In the vo utility, you can choose either DOM order or grouping. Which is
better?

That used to be the case, but there was some change. Of course depending upon
how you set the rotor, you would go up/down. In other words, if you have
selected links with the web rotor, you use up/down to navigate through the
available links. Lots of options for what is included in the rotor can

I just don't see why it would matter. generally speaking, on the web, pressing
