That is correct but you will also have to navigate into the dialogue and
interact a couple of times to get into the meat of the download message.
My own personal preference is to set up a Folder Alert service on the
downloads folder.
This brings a message up whenever a download starts and then brings up
another message when the download is completed. There are pros and cons
to this, the major con is that the message is not automatically
announced by Voiceover and you have to use VO reading commands to read
the dialogue which will otherwise stay silent. However as you will be
expecting something to come up after pressing a download link this is
not too much of a problem.
I covered this in one of my Podcasts which should still be on Apple Vis
I think.

If I remember right, the Macintosh command to check your downloads is option
command L, and then you press The escape key to get out of it.

Pressing vo+a will read from your cursor position. Safari does not really give

it's enabled, and check the download status there.
Original message:
Hello all:
I’ve been slowly using the mac a lot more while in class just to be able to
pick up the skills with it. There are a couple things that are bothering me,
however which I’d like to figure out if someone could help.
First, when in Facebook messages using hotspots doesn’t seem to work unless the
content is not dynamic. I could just jump to an edit box (then go back up from
there), but that’s not really the best solution since the edit key was taken
away. there is a way to jump to an edit box in the help (vo+h twice) but
there’s not a key. Can I assign one?
2. When reading a document, I know vo+b will read from the top, but I’d like to
read from the position where my cursor is. Is this possible?
3. When Safari starts downloading something, it doesn’t make any indication
that it’s actually downloading. This results in me clicking a link a couple
times, assuming it’s broken or something else and I have 5 versions of that
file. Is there a way for notifications?
4. Finally, I use adium a lot for the messages. I like the timestamps, but I’d
love to be able to shut off the graphics and the weird group things where
sometimes it’ll group messages. Any idea if this is possible?
TIA.
