Hey Traci, Thanks for your thoughts. Always good to hear what people are liking about a program you are new to. I have not emailed or called Apple Accessibility about the audio issue as I am pretty sure it is a Launch Bar specific issue since it is the only program that is doing this. I think the issue might be that Launch Bar runs in the background so the operating system treats it like it is a process as for example as I type this voiceOver reads through my internal speakers and if I was to get a notification while typing this for example say Facebook, it would be announced through the bluetooth speakers and not through the internal. No clue why things work this way but I don't mind it. What I do mind is Launch Bar being read through both sets of speakers creating a bizarre echo, very strange. I do see the usefulness of LaunchBar for certain tasks, and I am sure with time I might love it but for now I love my keyboard commanders to launch or toggle between programs. Also I got a new bluetooth keyboard with a num pad so recently started using num pad commander which I now love and interestingly there seems to be a key on this new keyboard where you press it and it brings up the shut down sleep etc menu which is very nice. Love this full keyboard over the Apple bluetooth keyboard with out the num pad. Who knew spilling soda all over my Apple keyboard causing it to short out would be such a blessing.
