Hi Everyone,
I can't get draging and dropping to work, no matter what I try.
Here is what I am doing:
1. Interacting with songs table.
2. Pressing VO shift space on the desired item.
You don't need to click on the desired item with VO-shift-space but
it's OK if you do.
3. Moving the mouse to the item.
After you have moved the mouse to the item you need to start the drag
and drop with VO-Command-Shift-Space. I slide the fingers of my left
hand over one key to press this so that I have three fingers in a row
on the Control, Option, and Command keys, and use my little finger to
press the Shift key while I press the space bar with the forefinger of
my right hand, but you can always lock the VoiceOver keys with VO-semi-
colon, then press Command-Shift-Space to start the drag and drop and
unlock them again with VO-semi-colon
4. Turning curser tracking off.
5. pressing VO shift space once I've gotten to the location I want o
drop the files.
When you get to the location you want to drop the files, first move
your mouse to the location and then use VO-Command-Shift-Space to
complete the drop. Remember that you're pressing Control-Option-
Command-Shift-Space (the Command key gets pressed, too).
What am I doing wrong? I tried starting at the location I wanted to
drag and drop to and doing VO shift space there, but that brought me
back to mail.
The problem is you're leaving out pressing the Command key at the same
time -- it's VO-Command-Shift-Space for the drag-and-drop action.
Perhaps someone can email me off list and walk me through this
somehow?
Thanks, Olivia

Cheers,
Esther
