Chris, in my experience at least, I cannot always get the edit menu to
become visible. I double tap and hold, I hear the tri tone, I then
release, I then hear the bubble type sound, but in some cases I cannot
find the menu items anywhere. So this is why I personally use the edit
rotor.

What is the point of the edit rotor option when in a text box? Before
you start explaining to me what it does, no no no... that's not what I'm
asking. I know what it does!, but, why?
See, here's the thing... If you are on a text field, or honestly, for
that mind, a text message, etc. if you double tap on the content, and
leave your finger on the screen after the second tap, then after hearing
the 3 little pass gesture through bleep tone, you then lift your finger,
you'll hear another little popup sound. It's the same sound you get
when I O S is trying to auto-correct. Now, if you flick right from that
text box, text message, etc. etc. you'll see that right there you have
menu options like select, select all, copy, paste, etc. And before
anyone says, yeah, but tapping on them doesn't work, that's why you need
the rotor... Oh, you wanna make a bet they don't work? I just did it
over here, and they work perfectly! I can't figure out in the edit
rotor setting nor in this method how to select a portion of text without
selecting all. We had this discussion once on list, about pinching in
and out to select, but no matter what I try, and apparently by far I'm
not the only one who's had issues, I can't get it to work regardless
what I do. Anyway, that's not the point. Point being, why make a rotor
setting for this stuff, when doing it the non-voiceover way like
normal... pardon the pun, sighted people would do, works perfectly?
Isn't that kind of a waiste of source code? What 'em I missing here?
Just seems a bit redundant. Is it more just a preference thing one may
like doing it one way where another might like the other way, or is
there actually a specific reason why to do one over the other?
Chris.
