Hi all.
I've been searching the list, and I haven't found any mention of
this, but please let me know if I'm mentioning something that's
already been posted.
It's been pointed out here several times that you can't select chunks
of text in Safari, only the whole page. That's not precisely true.
You can usually select a paragraph of text, if your mouse is pointing
at it, by triple clicking on it. In other words, if you're VO
arrowing through the text on a web page, all the text spoken by
pressing, say, VO down arrow can be highlighted with a triple click,
if you either have your mouse cursor following your VO coursor of
move it there once you've gotten to the bit you want to copy.
Also, If you want to highlight multiple continuous chunks, triple
click on the first, VO down the number of chunks you want, move your
mouse and shift-click on the last chunk. That'll select everything
from where you triple clicked to where you are now, and you can copy
that text to the clipboard.
this *very* occasionally doesn't work, for reasons I haven't been
able to work out. You'll get *part* of the chunk, but not all of it,
and I'm not entirely sure why. This usually happens to me with
program code examples. Also, I only just learned about the shift-
click thing today, so I haven't tested it heavily, but it *does* seem
to work.
Hope this helps someone and that I'm not stating the obvious here."
