Re: A basic Mail question

Try using OPT + UpArrow, to go to the top of a mailbox list, and OPT + DownArrow, to go to the bottom of the list. HTH. - Brad - On May 26, 2021, at 00:56, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi, I've started using Mac Mail more frequently, but I'm not finding the keyboard shortcut t

A basic Mail question

Hi, I've started using Mac Mail more frequently, but I'm not finding the keyboard shortcut to jump to the top (or bottom) of a list. For example when in a mailbox on the list of all the messages in that mailbox, how do I jump to the top of the list? And how to the bottom of the list? It's a simpl

Re: Why does my iMac make a pinging sound every 30 seconds?

There should have been a Notification banner in the upper right corner of the Mac’s screen. You can access these Notification banners using VO + N, then using the up/down arrow keys, then pressing Enter to select and place focus on the Notification. You will then need to open the Actions menu,

Re: Why does my iMac make a pinging sound every 30 seconds?

Hi. My Mac kept saying bluetooth keyboard disconnected. It had been doing this a lot when I put my Surface Tablet pro on. So today I restarted the Mac and it stopped it. There were no dialogue boxes showing. It would do this intermittently. After restarting it, it didn’t do this at all. K

Hi Dave, That would be logical. The Mouse Keys relates to the primary keyboard as far as I’m aware. Later… Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech Apple Professional Learning Specialist Apple Teacher (with Swift Playgrounds Recognition) Fort McMurray, AB Canada > On May 25, 2021, at 8:56 AM, Dave Ca

Re: Update on turning touchpad off and on on the fly

Tim, Yes, just confirmed your point. The laptop keyboard lost those keys for normal typing. Drat. Interestingly is that with my external USB-connected keyboard, those keys do not get mapped and they continue to work as expected, even with mouse keys enabled. But of course that’s not the point, u

Re: Update on turning touchpad off and on on the fly

Hi, While this will turn off the trackpad, it also may have some unforeseen consequences for you. When Mouse Keys is enabled, you have now made the 7, 8, 9, u, I, o, j, k, l and a few more keys have different functions. When Mouse Keys is enabled, these keys work as mouse directional keys, an

Re: Why does my iMac make a pinging sound every 30 seconds?

Hi, As John aptly said, it is a System dialog alert that is trying to tell you to pay attention to it. It will continue to do this until you attend to it. Use VO-f1-f1, the Application Chooser, to find this alert. The Window Chooser, V(-f2-f2, does not usually reveal System alerts. Later…

Re: Why does my iMac make a pinging sound every 30 seconds?

You might have a system dialog that is bugging you. Try using the window chooser and app chooser menus to find the dialog and deal with it. It’s probably asking you permission to do something or warning you about an incompatible app. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the Blind Tel

Pretty cool. Works on Mojave, as well. Slightly different controls in the System Preferences for that version. Dave Carlson Oregonian, Farfar, Engineer, Musician, Pioneer, and Woodworker On May 25, 2021, at 6:35 AM, Ian Harrison wrote: Hi listers, apologies if someone has already posted this.

Why does my iMac make a pinging sound every 30 seconds?

Hello, I am running Bigsur 11.4 on my 2019 iMac. The iMac makes a pinging sound about every 30 seconds or so and has done this at least for the entire Bigsur release. This is beginning to annoy me and I would like to stop it. Has anyone any idea why the iMac does this and what I can do to stop it

Update on turning touchpad off and on on the fly

Hi listers, apologies if someone has already posted this. A lister previously advised to use a connected mouse to turn off the touchpad so I woldn’t accidentally use the pad to change focus. I’ve now found a way to do this on the fly without the need for a mouse or external touchpad. I can now
