Hi. As it happens, it *is* accessible with Voiceover, if you're presistent enough. As it also happens, though, I haven't been using it for a while, since when Snow Leopard first came out, there were quite a few problems with it and Quicksilver. I've just downloaded the latest from the google code site, and there are some differences from what I'm used to, so I'll have to play with it for a while to see if it's made it better or worse. I'll write up something in a couple of days. In the meantime, though, to even start to use it accessibly, download QS, run it, go into preferences, select appearance, and set your command interface to "primer". That will then print the command you're trying to run next to the execute button so you can see what you're doing. Also, when experimenting with Quicksilver, try to turn off cursor tracking. It will make your life much less confusing while you're learning. I'll also, as in in the next hour or so, post a couple of articles I wrote for the older version up on my blog yvonnezed.posterous.com Looking at the new one, it won't all work, but it should give you an idea of what you're trying to do. Also, if you're running Leopard or Tiger, and can get your hands on the b54 version from quicksilver.blacktree.com, the articles will work without a problem, <grin>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
