Oh, ok. that actually does make sense. I could see it being used there. I
wonder why still though in the senareo I presented it didn't work.

It's intended more for tables and the like. It gives vertical navigation
through columns.

One word of warning regarding I O S's virtical navigation that I just
discovered.
Be careful. If you have multiple items on the same line of the screen,
you're gonna find that it will scroll you to the first item in that row,
but if you then flick down, you'll land on the item right under it, not
the literal next item. So when they say virtical navigation, take it for
what it says. They literally mean! virtical? navigation. In other words,
let me see if I can give a more practical example.
Now, in Safari, things might work differently, but let's say for example,
you're in Safari, and you double tap on the pages tab in the bottom right
corner to bring up your pages tabs navigator. Now say, you go to the very
top left item of this screen. If you then flick to the right as you'd do
normally, you'll eventually find that you land on the close tab button.
OK, now go back to the top left most item, and this time, instead of
flicking to the right with one finger as you just did, make sure your
rotor is on virtical navigation, then one finger flick down. Keep
flicking down with one finger... See what I mean? It's not hitting the
close page button, is it? See? The reason's because that close page
button is not the very first item on the row. So if you wanted to use
navigation,... ok, now this is interesting... If I flick right, I hear
the name of the page at the top, I flick right again, then hear the u r l
of the page, then one more flick is the close tab button. Now, as I just
did this again, I noticed something that I didn't before. I'm hearing the
Voiceover navigational direction sound which tells me it's wrapping down
to the next line and starting me back at the far left margin of that line.
So this is kind a weird, as I hear the title of the page, I flick right,
then it wraps me virtically down apparently, to the next line which is
apparently the u r l, then it wraps me again to the 3rd line which
apparently starts with the close tab button. So, what I'm trying to say
is, it appears from a Voiceover perspective that those items do indeed! go
virtically straight up and down. So if that is the case, then I have no
idea! why virtical navigation is then skipping over the close tab button,
yet flicking left and right as normal hits it. That's really bizarre. My
mom just left for church, so I can't have her look right this second, but
if I remember to do so, I'll haver look when she gets back home this
afternoon and I'll let you guys know visually how it actually is laid out.
I'm just curious why if it really is! moving virtically, why then that
rotor setting sees it otherwise. I could see this as potentially being a
bad thing, as you'd wind up thinking you were navigating normally only to
find that you skipped a lot of very possibly, very important things. The
bottom line in this post is just to say, beware, and use this feature with
a bit of caution.

I just checked on the Mac, and there is not a setting in Safari for
vertical navigation.

Hi guys.
I was looking for something else in VoiceOver on the iPhone, and I came
across the rotor setting of vertical navigation. I assume this is for
Safari. Is there a rotor setting for the Mac for vertical navigation?

Gigi
