Hi all, and sorry I’m late. If you have a keyboard with a numpad, a very leet way to turn off the preview pane in the classic layout is to turn on and use Mouse Keys, from System Preferences > Accessibility. Route the VO cursor to the horizontal splitter, then press and hold the numpad 5 key, and while it is held, press and hold the numpad 2 key to drag straight down. This always works reliably, because the computer always goes in straight lines.
This technique can also be very useful for other scenarios where the VoiceOver cursor doesn’t (but should, dammit!) work. It was a favourite strategy of mine before Apple gave us a means to move to the table header row, for instance, and also when Dropbox was rendered inaccessible in earlier versions by the constraints on the accessibility of menu extras in the past. You can’t use Numpad Commander while you’re playing this trick, for obvious reasons. Strange things will happen if you try.
