Subject: Navigating to the Google Search Bar [was Re: Mac-cessibility
QuickTip #5}
Hi Cara,
Just a quick lil note about navigating to the Google search field
in safari. I to use the search bar and there is a nice way to get
there via navigation as well. If you press command L to enter a url,
you can VO right arrow twice and you'll be in the Google search
field. there's just a lil separator between the two edit fields, so
you can go back and forth if you like...
Just an FYI...
Smiles,
CQ :)
Yes, I use Command-L to get to the Google Address Bar, too, and
can move to Google Search with VO right arrow, but when I want
to go directly to the Google Search field in Safari I use
Command-Option-F
It's all a matter of what you're used to using, and there are many
great shortcuts that do the same thing.
Command-Option-F sunk in from the days before there was a VoiceOver
manual, and when working in Apps where fields and buttons weren't
labelled. I still use it a lot in iTunes because, whereever I am,
especially
if I'm use VO-keys plus arrow keys instead of tabbing, I know that I
can quickly get to the search text field and orient myself.
New users will probably find it easier to remember Command-L and
VO right arrow, though.
Cheers,
Esther
