I've never ever experienced that. Sorry. Chris.

Well, um, I hadn't gotten to that point yet... :) I sort of hoped I could find how to do it by plaing around, but it doesn't seem that simple. Ah well, google will tell me tomorrow. In the meantime, anyone know why vo speaks everything it can when I open the dashboard, and refuses to stop even when I hit the control key? It does the same thing when I close dashboard, yapping away no matter what I do until it finishes with whatever is in focus. It's really annoying.

Okay, that did it. Still, I thought there was a command to move from widget to widget. Ah well, this beats going online to somewhere likebraille.wunderground.com, and now I'll look for more widgets. If anyone sees a system monitor with cpu/ram/hard disk info, please let me know.

I launch dashboard and am read some of my widgets automatically, but I can't move between them. I just get an image that is a link, an info button, and a couple other ocntrols. I know I have more widgets than just one, but I seem to get stuck in one (inaccessible) widget. Using the stop interacting command does no good.

I don't use it, because I just open spotlight or my applications folder and open what I want. Are there dashboard widgets that people find helpful? I suppose a weather and system monitor could be handy...

By totally accessible, I mean you can pick the various widgets you want to interact with using VO. By pressing VO+F2 twice, just like you were going into window chooser, it brings up a dashboard menu, allowing you to pick any widget currently installed on your system. I just thought folks would find that info useful, seeing as when I was actually on a call with apple accessibility trying to find out that info, I stumbled onto it myself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
