Re: What am I Doing Wrong -- Find Text on a Safari Web Page

Barry, Thanks for that idea. I noticed that even after pressing VO+I I got that irritating “Safari Busy” message again with the long wait time. However when the list did come up I noticed a whole bunch of bookmarks in the item chooser, and I got suspicious. In the View menu for Safari, I shut of

I use the item chooser. Press vo-i and start typing the string you want to find at it will drill down to a list of results as you type. Arrow through the results and press enter. Incidentally, the item chooser works anywhere. > On Nov 3, 2019, at 21:35, Dave Carlson wrote: > > I get frustra

Re: What am I Doing Wrong -- Find Text on a Safari Web Page

John, Okay hate to be a pain, but that’s the method I’ve been using. Whenever I try to VO+G to find the next occurrence of a text string that is not there, Safari goes into that “busy” mode. This also happens when I press “L” to jump to links, and reach the last link on a page. When I press “L”

What am I Doing Wrong -- Find Text on a Safari Web Page

I get frustrated when using Option+Control+F and Option+Control+G for finding text or finding the next instance on a web page. If the text is not found, I inevitably get a “Safari busy” message that lasts for a good 15 to 30 seconds before I can do anything else. Is there a more correct way to s
