ok, but if I hit say a slider on the screen, and interact with it, if I then
wanna move it up in small movements, you're saying hold the shift key down
while doing it? Wouldn't that not work? Think about that... to move the
slider, you'd use vo+up and down arrow after interacting. Well, if I wanna
move it up a little bit, then vo+up arrow, with the shift key... so...
vo+shift+...oops? I just stopped interacting with the slider. Bummer!
What 'em I missing?

Subject: Re: Speaking rate in Voiceover
Hi Chris,
It used to be that holding down the shift key as well would act as a
modifier to slow down the adjustment rate of various items such as volume,
rate, etc. This was a general Mac feature, not just for adjustments in the
VO controls. I'm not sure this works now with the plethora of shortcut key
controls and QuickNav, but somebody else may be able to tell you how to do
this. It could just be that my current setup conflicts with being able to
do this, or maybe you can still do this on a full size keyboard? It was
certainly a feature in older versions of the Mac OS X operating system. One
of the gruesome details of inadvertently pressing the Exposé key shortcuts
back instead of the F key combination you really wanted in Leopard was, that
not only could you not tell what was going on (e.g. visual windows moving
for selection -- analogous to using Window chooser menu but turning your
screen into a kind of icon view of windows) -- but if you happened to hold
down the Shift key as well, this would all happen in slow motion, and it
would take even longer to recover response.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

the thing...
It's moving in 5% increments. I kind of remember a while back, it's been
quite a while, but I vaguely remember someone saying that there was a
little trick to actually adjust that in finer notches, where I literally
could move it just a percentage at a time.
Can someone refresh my noggin on how to do that? LOL!
Chris.
