Hi Catherine,
I am providing you with a link of an audio presentation where Steve Sawczyn
shows how to configure the MacBook Pro and VoiceOver so that you can use the
keyboard to control or option click the mouse. Steve is showing how to access
the Dropbox menu using option click but you could apply the same idea to a file.
If you follow Steve's instructions, you should be able to configure this.

Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to control click a certain file in Explorer
using the mouse with Voiceover. The reason I ask is I want to access
the view previous versions item on a Dropbox file. From
instructions I read this option appears after control clicking a file
in Explorer - is there a keyboard equivalent of this? If not, I
wonder how to get the mouse to the correct place and control click.
It should also be possible to do this via the dropbox website but I
can't ind the option that's meant to appear so maybe it's not visible
to Voiceover in Safari.
Anyhow I open Finder, have quick nag off, arrow to the file I want,
press VO Command f5, then (with mouse keys on) press Control numpad 5.
THis does option click on a file as the menu I want comes up, but it
is not the file I wanted. It seems the mouse is stuck on one
particular file and I can't get it to the file I want. ALso on this
subject, I don't understand why in the commands help the command for
mouse up and mouse downer the same? And how come there isn' a command
for mouse left or mouse right?
Has anyone got any ideas how I can option click a file? Or has anyone
found another way to view previous versions of a file in Dropbox?
Thanks,
Catherine
