Re: Message app on Mac confusing

[Kliph Miller Sr]

To add a new line without sending, hold down the option key. The messages app on the Mac is pretty straight forward. Navigate the table of conversations, VO spacebar on the one you want to work with, go to the edit field, start typing and send, or read messages and tap back, or reply to them. To start a new message, command N, to reply to a message, command r, also look in the menu bar, there are other commands that may seem useful. Those i have listed above are the most common ones.

For example, when I send a message I like to use new lines to separate out sentences. But it seems when I do that on the Mac the message gets sent prematurely. Can anybody suggest a thorough tutorial for using the message app on a Mac. Of course, the tutorial would be slanted towards instructing someone using voiceover. ************ - Sent from Ino Squire's iPhone SE (iOS 18.6.2) via Google Mail        -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
