Re: bad Arrow Key behavior with VO

2011-08-15 Thread Teresa Cochran
Actually, Quick-Nav is the setting that allows you to navigate with the arrow keys. You use left- and right-arrow keys simultaneously to turn it on and off. It isn't hard to turn it on accidentally, and, indeed VO in Snow Leopard seems to do this spontaneously at times. Double-check and be sure

Actually, I should add that in general, after learning a little about how 8-dot Braille works, the key assignments are quite logical. A control m or control j character will get you return; ergo, dots 7 and 8 with either j or m. I tried 7-8 with dots 2-4 and got the tab character, as I expected.

Sorry; disregard my last post to this thread. I was confused, but on a more careful reading it all became clear. I guess I don't mind copying files instead of cutting. I've put many a file into oblivion in Windows by cutting, so I guess I can deal with the extra time it takes to copy. Teresa
