Bringing up the call screen?

Hi all, Recently there was a discussion about how to set your phone so that a phone call takes the whole screen like it used to. I don’t really mind the new behavior, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get into the call screen when I need to, for example, to press a number in an automated me

In iOS 14, you can restore the prior layout of the “Call” screen by going to Settings > Phone > Incoming Calls, and selecting Full Screen. HTH. - Brad - On Dec 3, 2020, at 09:19, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi all, Recently there was a discussion about how to set your phone so

Re: Bringing up the call screen?

Right. But if I just want to have the numberpad for a specific call, not change the setting, is there a way to do that? Thanks, Donna > On Dec 3, 2020, at 9:48 AM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > In iOS 14, you can restore the prior layout of the “Call” screen by going to > Settings > Phone > Incoming

Passcode on Watch OS 7

Hello, I am contemplating adding a passcode to my new Apple Watch SE running Watch OS 7. However I am unclear on the circumstances in which I would have to enter that passcode on my watch. I mostly use the watch in silent mode with VoiceOver turned off, to which I have gotten haptic time to work

Re: Passcode on Watch OS 7

Hi Paul, I don’t have the answer to your question, but I’m curious about how you use the watch with voiceover turned off. Do you use it to do anything besides tell time, if yes, how do you do that without the ETA voiceover? Cheers, Donna Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 3, 2020, at 1:34 PM, Paul H

Re: Screen Curtain Toggle Command

Hi, it’s a handful. :) Fn-control-option-underscore. You get underscore by using shift on the minus key. It’s no wonder you had a custom key for this. Sheesh. Traci > On Dec 3, 2020, at 12:02 PM, Lorie McCloud wrote: > > oh shoot! I didn't even know the Mac had a screen curtain. > >> On Dec

Re: Screen Curtain Toggle Command

If the keyboard you are using happens to have a number pad, but not an FN key, you can get around this by going into VO Utility > Commanders > Numpad commander. You can select between a number of different modifiers that you press with the number keys. While most of the modifiers do have predefi

Its VO + Shift + F11. Note: Depending on your Keyboard Preferences, you may need to also press the Fn key as well. - Brad - On Dec 3, 2020, at 14:02, Lorie McCloud wrote: oh shoot! I didn't even know the Mac had a screen curtain. > On Dec 3, 2020, at 1:48 PM, Joy Cyr

Re: Screen Curtain Toggle Command

On Macs with a TouchBar, or any Mac running macOS Sierra or newer, holding down the Fn key will allow the NumberRow keys to perform as F-keys. Therefore, Fn + VO +Shift + minus (F11), will toggle the Screen Curtain. HTH. - Brad - On Dec 3, 2020, at 14:22, Traci Duncan wrote: Hi, it’s a handf

Sometimes the screen share doesn’t go directly to vlc or quicktime though so it would be difficult to know where you are when command shifting around. I will do further experiments however. > On 3 Dec 2020, at 8:16 pm, Brad Snyder wrote: > > When I do a screen share on Zoom, I am usually play
