Buddy is entirely correct; if you start keyboard practice mode (VO-K) then press the "Return" key, VoiceOver announces "Return". (Press escape to leave this mode.) In earlier posts (from a few years ago) I used to consistently call this key "Carriage Return" -- a remnant of unix/linux references to CR for carriage return and LF for line feed, or even older references to typewriter keyboards. On the MacBook Pro there is no [Enter] key, and I don't think this has survived on any of the current Mac keyboards. However, on my G4 PowerBook from the generation just before the Intel Macs were released, the [Enter] key is a separate key on the right side of the space bar, between the command key and the "inverted T" of the arrow keys. (On my MacBook, this is the space occupied by an Option key). Pressing [Enter] on a selection would allow you to type a replacement name for a highlighted playlist, file, etc. Pressing [Return] acts to accept all default settings in dialog windows. (The [Enter] key won't do this.) HTH. I guess I should go back to typing "Press return". Incidentally, I draw everyone's attention to Anne's excellent post on reading mail fast without the Preview pane. (She even correctly types "Return" <smile>): <begin quote> A fast way to read mail without the Preview pane is to interact with the table of messages and put quick nav on. You can then just press Return on a message and then Right Arrow to read it. Back space will delete the message and Command-w will close it. Interacting with the messages table means you can just use the up and down arrows to move within a column (subject, for example), and quick nav means you can use the left and right arrows to move between columns. <end quote> Cheers, Esther --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
