Hi Janet,
I just wanted to make a few additions and comments to your
instructions for keeping an app that you opened in the Dock:
You wrote:
To keep and app in the Doc:
open app, that puts it temporarily in the doc. use control option
d (vo d) to go to the doc. Then use left-right arrows to go the
the app icon. Once on the app icon, use control option shift m (vo
shift m) to open the pull down menu. use the down arrow to find
the option for keeping the app in doc. escape key, if you're just
looking at an app's options in doc and don't want to change anything.
For faster menu navigation, type "K" instead of using the arrow keys
to find the "Keep in Dock" option. For Leopard, according to what
I've heard, you can also use this kind of type-ahead to go to
applications in the Dock (e.g., type the first two letters of iTunes,
"I T" to go there; type "GA" to go to GarageBand, "TE" for TextEdit,
etc.).
Your instructions are the easy way to put applications (permanently)
in the Dock, but for anything else that you want to put in the Dock
with VoiceOver -- a Downloads folder, file, folder, server, or webloc
file that can point to a URL -- the only accessible way I know of is
to use the Automator action that can be downloaded from Tim Kilburn's
web page for putting items into the Dock. This works under both
Tiger and Leopard:
