Here is a situation where command-[ and backspace won't work. In the Finder, under the Help menu, open Mac Help. When you click on links here, you can't backup with a keyboard shortcut that I know, certainly not the ones that you'd expect from Safari. The only way I can back up is to back out one level with the VO cursor, arrow back to the toolbar, enter the toolbar, click the back button, exit the toolbar, arrow over to the HTML view, and enter it again. So many keys for a simple function like going back a page.

Keep this in mind next time you run into this problem. To cycle through windows press command accent, which is located directly above the tab key. hth On Jan 11, 2010, at 11:19 PM, Barry Hadder wrote: > I had to comment on the issue you mentioned in regards to cmd-[ some times > working and some times not.
