OK that did not work, however I did find the open with option in
the file menu. This key sstroke is not working in any application. By
the way I found, downloaded and installed Onyx? I ran into a pproblem
when I tried to copy it to the Apps. folder. It said nothing and it
appeared to be stuck. I restarted my system and it was in the folder.
Never the less I want to get this key stroke working. Is it a setting
that may be turned off or disabled?

Hi,
Before you start, just for the sake of this discussion, please
close all running applications.
Then tell me where this file is located. For example, is it under
Documents in your User folder.
If it is in the Documents folder, just go to the file. While you
are on the file, do not press enter. And do not press VO keys Shift
Dow-narrow.
And do not pass Go and do not collect $200.
Now if you are on the file press VO Keys Shift Spacebar.
Now use the down arrow key to get to open with.
Now arrow to the right just once.
Now down-arrow to a word-processor. Such as TextEdit and press
enter to open Textedit and with the Document opened. Depending on
how TextEdit is set, you will have to locate the document with VO
keys Right or Left Arrow. Once there, you can read the file, or you
can press VO Keys Shift Downarrow to interact with the file. In
this way, you will probably not stray to other parts of TextEdit.
HTH.

I must have something set wrong because when I perform this
keystroke it interacts with the text. It does not bring up the
context menu. What needs to be changed?

Hello,
Sorry, no calculus homework for me.
Let me clarify something.
When you press VO Keys Shift Space, it is the same thing as right
clicking.
So, in Finder, go to the file you wish to open.
Then press VO Keys Shift Spacebar and down arrow to open with,
Right arrow once and down-arrow to the application you want. For
example TextEdit should be one of the choices. Then press enter.
That should do it.

You see something you stated prompted a question. In your first
sections of your instructions regarding the Apple menu. This is
ssomething new and interesting. I will read more about this
aproach unless you are willing to save me a little time. I can
do your calculas homework in exchange (smile).

Hello,
In the Apple menu, down to OS X Applications and press enter.
After the page loads after two bings, press Option Tab to the
search field and type in
Onyx
and press enter.
Then just following the prompts. And of course, you'll have to
check for the correct link.
Then press enter again.
Now on this page find the downloadable link.
Or you can do a google search for it by going to goggle, go to
the search field and type
Onyx OS X
Have fun.
It really works nicely.

Hello,
Thanks for mentioning Onyx. I just downloaded and installed
it. It really does take care of lots of maintenance stuff. It
also works real well for those of us who rely exclusively on
VoiceOver. I really like it.
Again, thanks to whoever mentioned it.
Dan
