"I wish a graphicsless mode.
This mode allows things to get very zippy and fast. for some of us, this
graphic layer is not even necessarry. It helps with battery, and there?s
more
memory for voice over related stuff. And small background tasks. That do
stuff"
I too am blind and use terminal about 95 percent of the time.
Iuse a dos box as a terminal lashed to the mac with a serial connection.
I have a dos screen reader on the dos box which permits excellent fine
detailed control over screen access to the mack ternimal activity.
Most often when using a gui application I start it by using the "open"
command in the bash shell. For example using audio files.
The web browser lynx is text only and alpine as the email client provide
access to the web based activities. Lynx also has a directory access mode
with file manipulation functionality for within the mac directory tree.
Much of the gui functionality piggy backs on bash level applications so
the scope of what it does can be accessed in terminal. The many bash
level utilities are there for the using in scripts or as aliases or
functions defined by the user.
Using the "say" command allows access to voiceover output if one wants it
from the mac.
