Hello Carolyn, You can use hotspots in any order you like. It's funny, I'm so used to crossing my hands for all kinds of commands that I never thought of starting with hotspot 0. Cheers, Anne On 22 Jul 2011, at 18:34, carolyn Haas wrote: > Hi Mark and Anne: > Could he use them in rears orde

Yes, this was the idea that I came up with and will use. Honestly, I never used hot spots in SL, and don't understand the concept as it applies to what I do or how it would make it easier; something else to look into when I finally get Lion. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitte

Hello Mark, Have you thought of creating shortcuts in Keyboard commander for a couple of hotspots? That should make it easier for you. Cheers, Anne On 22 Jul 2011, at 17:09, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: > Is there a way to mark hot spots that doesn't make you cross your hands over > each

Is there a way to mark hot spots that doesn't make you cross your hands over each other to hit the keystrokes VO 1 and VO shift 1, for example, require me, at least, to cross my right hand over my left to hit the numbers with. Just curious if, other than locking down the VO keys with VO semico

Hi, I love the fact that you not only can make activities automatic to certain programs, but also manual so you can use them wherever you want. This has very great potential. Anyone knows if hotspots were saved between sessions, that is when you started and shut down the computer in Snow Leopard

That's exactly what it means. This makes hotspots an actually useful feature for a change. 10 hotspots aren't nearly enough system wide, but it's more than enough for one app. This is one of the best improvements in VoiceOver. On Jul 22, 2011, at 1:56 AM, Les Kriegler wrote: Hi, Does this mean

Austin, Thank you a million times. This is wonderful. This set of hotspots aught to come included with Voiceover. I can't believe I didn't think of that. As soon as I return to Lion this will be the first thing I set up. I have restored my system from my backup drive and am now on Snow leopard.

Yep, activities is really good. If you want everything to work by gestures, add them to your hotspots and swipe around to get where you want. However, tabbing and untabbing is faster with mail. I've set up quite a few hotspots with garage band and now its such a pleasure to use it. Done the sa

Activities have some great potential. You can make any VoiceOver settings application specific. For example, I created a new activity called Mail,. I enabled hot spots, and checked Mail in the applications. I then quit the VO utility and went to Mail. This uses the new mail view in Lion, but you
