This won't work for using capslock as you used to. Remember that this hack is system-based, not just something in vo. The entire operating system thinks the caps lock key is the control and option keys pressed together, so telling vo to ignore the next key will do nothing. On Aug 29, 2012,

Hi Max, Control-Option-Tab will ignore the next key pressed and send it directly to the operating system. Using caps lock, you would press caps lock-Tab to do the same thing. Regards, Gavin Grundlingh Phone: +27 (0) 83 713-6191 Secondary Phone: +27 (0) 79 157-2466 Fax: +27 (0) 86 617-5792

Hi, is there a keystroke in VO that will pass the next key pressed to the computer by passing VO? There is such a keystroke in some PC screen readers. This would mean you could bypass VO and use the caps lock. Thanks. Max. Original Message Subject: Re: Caps Lock to VO keys

As I said, I could use the same utilities we used to remap the vo keys to remap the caps lock key. I might use a delete key on my full-sized usb keyboard since the mac seems to only need one delete key. On Aug 28, 2012, at 12:20 PM, Mary Scott wrote: > So what does happen when you need

I'd like to add my thanks for this hack. I just got it working and I think it'll be a massive help in using the mac. Of course, I no longer have a caps lock key, but I rarely use it anyway and I could always map another key to it. Thanks again! On Aug 28, 2012, at 9:20 AM, Bill Hol

Hello listers, I have long wanted the VO keys "Control Option" to be available as the caps lock key. this would allow one finger to hold down the keys. Also, the location of the Caps Lock key is ideal for reaching many keys that need to be pressed with the Voice Over keys. Usin

You don't necessarily need to use the control and option keys. You can turn quicknav on by holding down the left and rightarrow keys down at the same time. Then you can just use the left and right arrow keys to review the screen. On Jun 4, 2010, at 4:58 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > No. Not that
