OK,thanks. Didn't want to have to increase verbosity just to get this info, and I have only needed it once, but it's a good piece of info to have in one's back pocket for when one needs it in the future. On 6/10/2018 12:30 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: Hello, In high verbosity I found both curren

Hello, In high verbosity I found both current count and total count were spoken in column view, when navigating with just the arrow keys. In list view, vo-R twice or vo-shift-T should provide location information. both the vo-r and vo-shift-T commands alternate between two bits of information.

Hi, Sorry, I must have been unclear. You are correct in that interacting is needed for determining the row number. The Status bar is only available at the bottom of the window itself, not within scroll areas or tables. So, VO was announcing correctly, but you need to back out of any scroll a

VO R worked only after interacting with a row in the table. Command Slash didn't do anything except say Show or Hide Status Bar. I had to interact with a row in the table, got a tree view, went to the bottom of the list, pressed VO R and got that row number. Kind of a twisted method, but I got

I interacted with the list view table, and VO+R worked. Toggling the status bar with Command+/  didn't do anything. What I had to do to find out how many rows were in the table was to go to the bottom of the tree view after interacting with the table, then use VO+R to tell me the number of the

Hi, If you have the folder in List view, then press VO-r and the current row will be announced. It won't say 5 out of 10, but will say row 5. You can also know how many items are in the folder by accessing the Status bar, which if enabled is at the bottom of the window. In High Sierra, you n

That's a bit ambiguous, I know. What I want to know is how to have VoiceOver speak the number of the focused object in the currently opened folder--e.g., one of twenty, thirty-seven of five hundre fifty-two, etc. Of course, I know about the "Get info" dialog, but that only gives a summary of th
