Hi Jurgen, You can assign program short cuts by using the keyboard commanders in voice over utility and choose commanders and stop interacting and VO right arrow to keyboard and then VO Space bar and then VO right arrow to the check box that says use keyboard comanders and press Vo Space bar then Vo right arrow to the keyboard commanders table where you can assign quick keys to open your most used programs. You will find ones there for safari and mail by default the keyboard commanders uses the right option key then a key of your own choosing, but there are already some being used like s and the right option key for safari and m and the right option key for mail. First interact with the keyboard commanders table and check what keys are being used you can Vo up and down arrow to check which keys are already being used and to check which actions are being activated by VO right arrow to the action for each key so for example once you have interacted with the commanders table VO up and down arrow till it says the S key then VO right arrow till it says command open program safari, you can only use one key for each action. To add another action for two key press actions do the following. Stop interacting with the keyboard commanders table and VO right arrow to the add button it will then automatically land you on the keyboard commanders table press the key you want to use like I use the letter e for text edit, then you have to interact with the keyboard commanders table where you have just put the e for text edit then make sure you are on the e in the table then VO right arrow to the next section which is command menu press VO Space bar and then VO down Arrow till it says custom commands VO right arrow it will say open program press VO Space bar then VO right arrow till you get to the browse area then interact and find text edit stop interacting and then VO right arrow to the Open default button and there you go you have created a two key short cut to text edit . So to go to text edit you only have to press the right option key and the E key . You can do this for as many times as you want but you can only use 1 letter for each operation . I have done this for skype text edit Vlc player mac mail and safari and DVD player. Hope this is not to long winded .
