No on my MacBook Air 2017, it is purely VO then two fingers on trackpad
rotate anticlockwise off clockwise on. Apart from that sorry I really can’t
help you.

Hi: are you saying VO and then downarrow before using the rotor? Because the
Appendix A "Commands and Gestures" simply says VO and then use the rotor.
I've tried that without arrowing down, and nothing happens.
Thanks.

If you use your VO keys which are command and option how down then like on
the iPhone use the rotor action on your trackpad turn to fingers
anticlockwise and that should do it for you all the best

I always tell the voiceover cursor to just follow the mouse cursor. That way,
the trackpad won’t get in my way.

tell you how to do this.

No, you cannot, at least not to my knowledge. I just get used to it. You can
though enable something where if you hit, I think its command or option it
will disable use of the mouse pad sort of, but I have not found that too
reliable. I’ve been using a mac for about 11 years now and am so used to the
mouse pad it’s no big anymore.

Am I able to disable the mouse pad on this machine. It seems to be getting in
my way in trying to learn the MacBook Air?
Thank you.

Hello all,
I have had a strange issue with my Wifi connection the past few days. I don’t
remember this ever happening before. My network is showing a full connection,
3 out of 3 bars, and the computer is showing that it is connected to the
proper network. But when I try to load Safari, or connect to Express VPN, the
VPN gets as far as 35% and stops. Then, if I try to do a restart, it doesn’t
fix the issue. Safari will say web content instead of loading my home page.
So the only way to fix it is if I shut the computer completely down, and
start up again. This happens especially if I leave the computer idle for
quite some time. Any thoughts or ideas on what could be causing the issue?
Thanks,
Juliette************
