Hi. That works great, so long as everything you want to copy is in the same element.
Try this with two blocks of text that are separated by a link or two and you will be stopped dead at the element change. This is how things happen here, maybe I am doing something wrong? Seems to me the ssmart way to do this would be with quick nav. If I can press the up and down arrow to move by word, link, heading, etc. It seems to me the logical next step would be to use Shift up and down arrows to highlight all the way to the beginning or end of the current word, link, heading, table, etc. I could then pause, change the rotor, and continue my highlighting.

When I've selected what I wish, I press vo+enter again and then command+c to copy to clipboard. While you are selecting the text with vo+arrow keys, you should hear the swishing sound. Hope this will help. Don't despair. Mac is good. On 16 Jan 2012, at 21:24, Bill Holton wrote: Looks like this makes the Mac almost a no go for my work. I spend a lot of time grabbing addresses and other contact info online and copying it into documents. I am in DOM mode. If I interact with the text the VO Enter works, but all it will copy is the current element, word, link, etc. If I try to press VO Enter anywhere else I get a beep and nothing. Copying the entire page and editing would be about 5 times more work than I can accomplish the same tasks with Windows. There really should be a way to grab a few lines, elements, etc. from a web page and copy just them. I actually thought that's what VO enter was for, but apparently it won't help me at all. Maybe there is something else I am missing?

Selecting would appear to work better in DOM mode than in Groups. If Shift-Cmd-Right arrow doesn't highlight a chunk of text for you, remember that VO-Shift-c will copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard. Also, you may find you need to interact with the text to be able to highlight it. Failing that, Cmd-a will highlight the whole page, which you can then copy into a TextEdit document and edit from there. Cheers, Anne On 16 Jan 2012, at 20:17, Bill Holton wrote: Hi. As I understand it, there are a few ways to select text in Safari. To get a letter, word or line you hold down the shift key and then press arrow for character, option arrow for word and command arrow for the rest of the line. To select a larger selection, you press VO enter and then move to the end of your selection and press VO Enter again. My problem is, neither of these seem to be working. I have cursor tracking turned on and I have tried both with quick Nav turned on and off. I'm sure the problem is between my chair and keyboard, but not sure what to do different. Any suggestions appreciated. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
