Hello Esther, I think everyone who joins one of the lists you post on should be advised to create a special "Esther's pearls of wisdom" mailbox in which to store your many wonderful posts. After a while, they would have a very handy manual for OS X with VO. Cheers, Anne On Sep 3, 2009,

Hi Ester, That's fine. I wasn't sure who he was responding to. The original discussion was in regards to the context menu so I think my post still applies in some way. Take care. On Sep 3, 2009, at 1:35 PM, Esther wrote: > > Hi Barry, > > We've got two different discussions going on here.

Hi Barry, We've got two different discussions going on here. Yuma was responding to my (lengthy) post about the options on the Safari Preferences menu for tabbing. Although they use sequences like Command-Click, Command-Shift-Click, Command-Option-Click, and Command- Option-Shift-Click f

Yuma, I don't know how new you are to voiceover and the Mac so I want to make sure something is clear to you. vo-shft-m is a voiceover key and not a Safari key and you won't find it in the Safari help. You can use that anywhere to bring up a context menu. There are times when it doesn't w

Hi Yuma, Shift seems to act as a secondary modifier on the Mac. In some instances, like adjusting sliders for sound or brightness, or moving splitters or resizing windows, pressing the shift key gives you fine control to move in smaller increments. In other cases, such as using tab, com

Hi ester, I do think opening new windows might be better. Perhaps with snow leopard it's fixed as i think they have the individual threads for each tabs, but i'm still on leopard right now. Soon though :) Also, it might be easier to just command accent for jumping from window to window, as

Hi Yuma, If you follow Barry's suggestion, you don't need to route your mouse cursor to the VO cursor to open in a new tab with Command-Enter (or, more accurately, Command-"Return"). If you want to open in a new window instead of a new tab, open your Safari preferences (Command- comma), n

Hi guys, So shift acts a bit like a secondary command list. That's good to know :) I have looked at a list of keyboard shortcuts, but they vary from context to context, or so it tends to make me believe. Thanks a lot for the info though, one more for the mac bbest Yuma --~--~-~--

Hi, You can open a link in a new tab by pressing cmd-enter. You can bring up a context menu in the usual way with vo-shft-m for more options. I find it a little odd that you haven't tried that. Just as a side note, You can open Safari help and type keyboard in the search field to see all o

Dear Yuma, Do you mean to open a particular link in a new browser window? Try routing your mouse cursor to your vo cursor - unless you have the two cursor tracking - and then perform right click by holding the control button and clicking the physical mouse. You should be presented with a m
