Hi Keith,
KB:
Unfortunately i can't get the highlighting to work my directory is in column mode if that makes a difference but as far as everything you instructed me to do is concerned i followed to the letter. when it works for you does it announce if things are highlighted or not?
TK: Column mode or List mode shouldn't make a difference. As shaun mentioned, you need to Interact with the column browser then use VO keys to navigate up or down the columns Upon selecting with VO- cmd_space, VO will announce "Select" In List mode, I believe it actually says how many items are selected. It may also in column mode but in my test situation in tiger, it did not. My wife is using my macBook with Leopard right now so I can't test what it says in Leopard. So you can understand why you need to navigate with VO as opposed to simply using the arrow keys, you must think about what's happening when you use just the arrow keys. In that case, the arrow keys is moving the keyboard focus and thus playing with manipulating Cursor Tracking with VO-shift-f3 is contradictory to what you're trying to accomplish.
hope this helps. Later...
