not very encouraging relying on others to know what you want done on your
machine.
Its as if, you need to kow what you want to do before calling them, or its been
my experience.
But the commanders or whatever they are called are in vo utility,its pretty
easy to setup,I did one for Text Edit using letter E since the T for time was
already setup.
But safari,mail,time,probably some others were already setup that way on my
mac,the option key is the right side one on my keyboard,since vo uses it with
control on the left,but with the caps lock being now a vo key,its whole lot
easier to use that sometimes.
you can change it in vo utility on general tab for setting both if you want or
just the caps lock as vo,i use both.
also,your caps lock key will still function as caps lock by pressing it two
times quickly turn on/off
one last thing, in all the vo utility menus towards the last item on each menu,
is a “help” I use that frequently cause it really explains lot of the vo
functions to me anyways.
now here’s tip for you, when you select “help” you need to use vo-arrow
keys,the right one to move in the help screen, when it says, web or table, you
need to interact with it in order to read the info there. the tables are
usually 2 colums and several rows,it gives a brief description of what the
function key does in that menu and the function its self.
you might not need it,just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Hello
During my session with the Apple people, my voice over settings were reset to
factory settings.
In that process, I lost all my shortcuts. We went into keyboard to shortcuts
today and tried to set a shortcut but it did not work.
I also don’t see a way to set a shortcut for getting to the top of the page or
setting one for the time. It looks like you have to go to a certain application
to set a shortcut and can’t do anything but what is offered.
It’s very confusing to figure out how to do this and apparently the Apple
person wasn’t really familiar because when we set a shortcut for getting to
Safari it did not work.
Any ideas on how to set a shortcut that would be used in all applications?
Thanks
Barbara
