split buttons on the mac

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi,

I have to work with a web page which has a split button on it.  One side of the 
button says print, and the other says save.  How do I click on the save 
portion?  Right now, if I click on the button, it always picks the print option.

I think I have to use the mouse buttons for this, but don't have a clue how!

Thanks,
Cait

One thing I would try is interacting and see if it displays them separately.

Re: split buttons on the mac

[John Panarese]

It works some times, but on the split button, press command-down-arrow and 
that will make the choices separate.

Hi John,

command down arrow does nothing here.  I've tried interacting with the button 
first as well and still nothing.

Thanks,

Re: split buttons on the mac

[Hai Nguyen Ly]

Good morning,
The only way I’ve managed to reliably activate these types of controls is to do 
the following.
1. Use option left/right arrows to move focus to the text associated with the 
button you want to click
2. Move mouse focus to the VO cursor by pressing VO+cmd+F5
3. Click the mouse by pressing VO+Shift+Spacebar

I hope this works for you. If there is a specific page you can share with this 
type of control, I’d be happy to take a closer look.

Is this on some kind of Microsoft site?

Re: split buttons on the mac

['Andrew' via MacVisionaries]

How about interacting with the split button, then locating the word “save”, 
then bringing the mouse to the voiceover cursor with vo+command+F5, then 
deactivating the trackpad and confirming you are still on “save” button by 
pressing vo+f6 and then clicking the trackpad.  It sometimes works.

 Hi,
 
 I have to work with a web page which has a split button on it.  One side 
 of the button says print, and the other says save.  How do I click on the 
 save portion?  Right now, if I click on the button, it always picks the 
 print option.
 
 I think I have to use the mouse buttons for this, but don't have a clue 
 how!
