> Question: > How does one remove the preview pane? To remove the preview pane in the Mail application 1. Navigate (e.g. with VO-Right arrow) past the "Messages Table" to where you hear "Horizontal Splitter". 2. Route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5 3. Double-click on the splitter either using VO-Shift-Space or by pressing your physical mouse key or trackpad key twice quickly. To double click with VO-Shift-Space, hold down your Control, Option, and Shift keys then tap the space bar twice quickly. You should also be able to double-click by quickly pressing the "5" key twice on a numeric keypad with Numpad Commander enabled (only in Leopard or Snow Leopard, not Tiger). Anne has mentioned that using VO-Shift-Space doesn't always work as a substitute for clicking or double-clicking, while clicking with mouse or trackpad (or by using the Numpad Commander option) will work. This can true for some applications with transitioning accessibility, but I've always found it to work in commonly used applications like mail. The two clicks must be close together. If you click once, the system expects that you will be issuing commands to move the splitter (e.g. by interacting with it and using your arrow keys). The second click tells it that you do not want to adjust it, but to drop it all the way. Note that you will never be able to do this if such an action hides an essential window that means you cannot effectively use the app. I can move splitters with double-click to remove informational windows in Automator; I can't remove any windows that are essential to my using the application.
