This didn't work for me, though I figured out why. You totally forgot to
mention to make sure in the voiceover utility that under navigation,
you're set to mouse moves the voiceover cursor instead of mouse follows
voiceover cursor. Once I changed this setting, it worked perfectly.

If you have a track pad, after routing the mouse to the voiceover cursor
on the "sync" menu, put your finger on the track pad and move it slowly
left, you should be hearing "application name button". It might be
necessary to move the finger a tiny bit up, but not so much though.

OK, I tried that but it's not working. Skype is running so could it be
on my tack pad I'm not going at a total straight angle? I did route the
mouse BTW. When you say grab the physical mouse or track pad, by
gragging do you mean just move it left, or do you mean more literally
click and drag. I tried both ways with no luck. Track pad commander was
disabled.

Press vo+m twice so you're focused on the "sync" menu then route your
mouse there and grab the physical mouse and go left from there. You rout
mouse to voiceover cursor with cmd+vo+f5.

Excellent tip. Do you know where I'd need though to route the mouse
with my vo+command+F5? What do I need to have focused when I do this.

Hi,
Beside the "sync" menu there's a menu where many icons for apps are,
such as skype, evernote, facebook clients etc, should you have them. For
some strange reason, those menu choices aren't accessible in the
standard way with Voiceover. There is no way as far as i know to get at
them. You can access these items with the physical mouse or a track pad
by routing the mouse (cmd+vo+f5) and then grab the physical mouse or put
your finger on the track pad and gently moving left, you should then
hear something like, for example "transmit menu button". Clicking there
opens the menu for the app you're on and there you can do various
things.
Hope this clarifies things.

Here's my! question.
Why can we not access things in the status bar? Correct me if I'm
wrong, but, we can access the clock, the battery, the airport, the
bluetooth, etc. Isn't that? in the status bar? So, yeah, ok, if we can
do that! then, well, why can't we access these other things? Am I
confused?

No,
This is true. Mainly because it works out of the status menu. Bought
once configured, Its a treat to use. Especially with twitter.

Hi,
with boxcar for Mac, you can reply to mentions and DMs from anywhere.
All you need to do is assign a keyboard shortcut to bring it up in the
boxcar app.

Yes, agreed. Perhaps, if someone were to create the twitter
application I describe below (how about calling it tweeter?), there
could be a keystroke that was global, that when pressed would pop up
a dialog in which you could compose a tweet.
I do find sometimes that the ability to read tweets from anywhere is,
while great, distracting
Perhaps another keystroke could be added that popped up a dialog with
the timeline

Very well said. The only thing I'd like to add is that the thing I
like best about qwitter is that it runs in the background;
you can just use it where-ever you are on the computer without
having to alt-tab to it first. So, if you're writing a
document, or playing a game for example, you can just check tweets
without losing your place in whatever program you were in.
Apart from that particular convenience, Yorufukuru on the mac does
meet my needs quite adequately.
Anyway, what is described below sounds perfect to me, but if qwitter
were to be ported to the mac somehow, I'd only use it
over what is already available because of its ability to just run in
the background. I hope that makes some kind of sense.

I see what you're saying. The only reason I wanted to see a port of
qwitter was simply because it provides features that most of the
other
twitter clients do not, or if they provide those features they are
either more hidden away or in the wrong place.
It would be great if someone would write a twitter client that had 4
columns lined up; timeline, direct messages, mentions, and sent.
Then
you could add more columns for specific people who you are
interested
in, so only there tweets showed up. Then a simple tweet box. The
ability
to follow people, unfollow people, and a button to go to their
twitter
profile. You could customise the time before new tweets are
received.
That's it; that, in my oppinion, would be the perfect twitter
client.
Many of the other clients (including qwitter itself) have a lot of
unnecessary features. For example, not to diss qwitter in any way,
but
who needs to do a bing search from a twitter client? If I wanted
audio
tweets, I would use one of the services already available... and my
twitter client definetly doesn't need a stopwatch build in.
Just my thoughts.

Hi,
Look, i don't want to diss your product, Jonathan but i must ask
the list this: Do we really need a blind specific Twitter
client? Wasn't it so that we chose the Mac platform to get away from
blind specific solutions and be more standard, thus
being able to more easily communicate with sighted people on equal
terms? I can understand the need for one or more blind
specific solutions in the PC world, but here? Am i naive, stupid,
living on another planet?

Hello,
there are some problems to develop a ported version of Qwitter:
* keystroke management is very different in OSX than Windows... We
have to rewrite all modules about keyboard
* window dialog management is very different in OSX.
* there are few diferences in IO file system for OSX and Windows
well, I have a good news... I'm developing Blindtweet for OSX. It
is a twitter client for OSX managed using keystrokes and
it uses speech capabilityes to show the twiter information.
I hope finish it for september and it will be in the Mac app store
