Hi, I think I'll end up with 3 or 4 basic activities. One will be the default settings with one or two things changed that I have all the time. One will be for navigation, where I'll have quick nav turned on, single letter enabled, and so on, which will run by default in all browsers and in all apps where there aren't many situations where you type or use lots of lists, like Docuscan Plus. I expect I'll have a different one for communication apps like Skype and iChat, where I'll stop my cursors from following each other, though I may end up with one for each app if I find hotspots to be the best way of moving around. The beauty is that you can just go into an app and have all those settings set themselves automatically for you. I wanted per applications settings before, and activities does this and much more too. Having been a Jaws user until less than a year ago, it kind of feels like scripts that I can use without having to learn a scripting language, since you can do most of the things scripts most commonly did, like monitor and get to specific parts of a screen and switch settings on and off. I really think VO is made extremely powerful by Activities, but the best thing is it doesn't rely on them and works just fine as it comes!
