Yes, there is also voice operation as well! If you cant do the keyboard commands, I think you can operate your computer through voice! I am not sure how much, perhaps an experience mac user might chime in here. Heather -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr

Neil, thats is a mouthful. I too am more than a little frustrated with how apple setup voiceover's keys. I had to learn this blind with no support and with a mouse I don't use. its slow going for right now. as a refrain: I have not used window eyes or jaws. I used to use windows on a separate

Hi, Try quick nav, by pressing the left and right arrows simultaneously. Then, many navigation tasks can be handled from the arrows alone. Specifically: Down+right: Interact Down+left: stop interacting Up+right and up+left: change the rotor setting (which is what you navigate with up/down arrows
