Hi list,
I am certainly in the minority here. I love quick nav and find it
helps me move around quickly. I have found I can use VO keys without turning
quick nav off to increase functionality. I tend to use many VO features for
example I use track pad gestures, keyboard defined commands with the right
option key, quick nav and standard VO commands. They all help in different
ways. It is great to have so many options. My only frustration is that the VO
keys are two keys in a tricky location. I'd love to be able to assign the caps
lock key to be the VO keys!
I'd love to see more tips on using quick nav.
