Hi Listers,
Quick tip for mouse up and mouse down . Just use the NumPad
and assign a key to do " Mouse up and down? " If you have a
NumPad that is.
Talk soon

Minor typo -- I use the thumb of my right hand to hold down the
space bar when I press VO-Command-Shift-Space -- the four fingers
of my left hand are pressing Command, Option, Control, and Shift
for the start and stop of the drag and drop.

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
