Dear Listers, I have some exciting news about Voiceover.
Voiceover now announces text attributes changes when working in TextEdit by saying for instance "bold checked" and "bold unchecked" when pressing the shortcut key command+B. The same is true of the other attributes like italic and underline. I am thrilled by these changes which I had requested from the Accessibility Team some months ago. It makes all the difference in the world to know now whether you have activated a given attribute or not. Better still, for those of us who use a few keyboardl layouts in order to work in foreign languages, when the command+spacebar or option +spacebar shortcut keybs are pressed, Voiceover now announces which keyboard layout is loaded. I just cannot believe how wonderful it is. I've written to Apple to thank them for these vital changes. For those of you who have more than two keyboard layouts on the menu, command+spacebar will alternate between two last keyboard layouts used only. However, option+spacebar will take you through all the keyboards that you have put on the menu. Just wonderful. Again, I asked for this feature a few months ago but wasn't at all sure that it would be implmeneted any time soon.
