Is this deep touch thing on the Apple watch? I thought it was as I couldn't make a new alarm as I kept pressing it firmly and when the new button came up it wouldn't let me double tap it. It took me ages. On 17 Sep 2015, at 20:33, Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> wrote:
I tested this at a local Best Buy, trying different things for about an hour. The best I could do was to route the mouse to the VO cursor with vo-cmd-f5, then deep press. That didn't always work, but I sometimes got word definitions and the like. To the best of my knowledge, Apple doesn't currently let VoiceOver take advantage of the trackpad yet. Here's hoping they do, because it could be a very powerful technology. > On Sep 17, 2015, at 15:13, Jonathan Mosen <jmo...@mosen.org> wrote: > > Hi all, I just took possession of my new Macbook Pro yesterday.
