Hi Geoff,
Try the following:
Double click on the "moveAddict Preferences.app" that came in the folder named
"Accessibility" when you downloaded and opened the MovedAddict.dmg disk image
to install the app. This should let you bring up a preferences pane for the app
by opening it from the Dock (e.g., use either VO-D or Control-F3 to move to the
Dock, then press "m o" to navigate to "MoveAddict" and open this by clicking
with your trackpad or pressing space bar.) On the "General" pane VoiceOver
should announce Start-Up option checkboxes ("Start at login", "Show in Dock",
"Show in Menu Bar") and Keyboard shortcuts for cut and paste. The assignment of
these last two are customizable, and you might hear "The help tag is, click to
edit the shortcut" once you VO-Right arrow past "Cut:". Route your mouse
cursor to your VoiceOver cursor (VO-Command-F5) if you don't have your Mouse
cursor tracking your VoiceOver cursor, and click with VO-Shift-Space or with
your Trackpad. Then type in your shortcut for cut (e.g., Command-x). VO-Right
arrow past the entry for "Paste:", and similarly route your mouse cursor,
click, and type the shortcut you want to use for paste (e.g., Command-v).
I think they may use the default shortcut values in some versions of the app,
but you clearly do not have defined shortcut sequences for cut and paste.
Whereas, it sounds as though your earlier iteration might have had conflicting
shortcut definitions.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
