Hello everyone. I was on a Mac computer running Lion on Saturday and when I was typing in Text Edit, and I went to move around between the words I wrote, I found the navigation was just like I was on a Windows PC.
On a standard setup on OSX Lion and Mountain Lion: I can use Option+LeftArrow to move to the previous word. The cursor will be in the front of the word. So if I type something at this point, the text will appear before the word. If I press Option+RightArrow, I will move to the end of the word. So typing at this point will add characters at the end of the word. The same for Voiceover commands... VO LeftArrow would put me at the beginning of a word. VO RightArrow would put me at the end of a word. The Mac I saw on Saturday, did not behave this way. When I pressed Option+LeftArrow, I was move to the previous word at the beginning... ok that is fine. But when I press Option+RightArrow I am moved to the beginning of the next word, not the end of the word like I am use to on a Mac. The same for Voiceover commands... VO RightArrow would put me at the beginning of the next word. I can not find any setting anywhere that would allow this. I assume it will be a System Preference of some sort since it is not only Voicover commands that this is affecting. All of the above was while I was in Text Edit. Please shed some light on this, if you know of the setting. I've been Googling and searching Help to no avail. The one thing I did not try was rebooting the computer or restarting Voiceover. Thanks. -Rodney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.
