Hi all, many of you probably know this, but I was listening to Mike
Arrigo's excellent ddemo of the mac, and he gave a handy command for
navigating a web site which locks voice over on, and it is command
option simi colon, just remember to turn it off when you leave a web
page or close safari.
Actually, Martie, it's ctrl+option simi colon, not command option.
Remember, control optin is the voice modifier keys.

Incidently, are there quick navigation keys to
get to things like forms, tables, and such in safari, and if not
safari, in voice over,
That depends on if you get Tiger, or if you get Leopard, however, if
you're getting a new Mac, face it, it'll have Leopard.
In Tiger, no there is not.
In Leopard which again, is most likely what you'd get, you can do
option+Tab, to move to the next form field, and optino shift tab to
move back. That won't work though until you set it in Safari
preferences.
To get to the preferences, just open safari, and hit command+comma.
Also, control+option+command+H will jump you heading by heading, and
control option shift command h, will go to previous heading.
control+option+F will search for any text on the screen.
Tab and shift tab in safari will move you from link to link.
control+option+U will bring up a links chooser list kind of like the
jaws insert F7, or the Window eyes insert+Tab.
control+option+i will bring up the item chooser list, which you
then can use to locate an item on the screen.
command+tab will move you from running application to running
application
control+option+F1 pressed twice will bring up the application
chooser, which is basicly the jaws equivalent of insert+F10.
control+option+J will jump you to another area of the screen. I
don't uase that command much, so someone else'll have to comment
more on vo+J.
control+option+F2 twice in a row will bring the window chooser up,
letting you focus to different opened windows within an
application. Say for example, you have a document up, then in that
same app, you have the save window up, this will let you select
which window of those two to focus on.
In safari, command+L will take you to the location bar, to type in a
web address then hit return.
When in the finder,
control+option+shift+D will take you to the desktop.
command+shift+A will take you to the applications folder.
command+shift+H will take you to your home directory
Command+shift+C will take you to your computer
and finally, command+shift+U will take you to your Utilities folder.

I haven't had it set to default in so long. I know that yes you are
taken to a apple based page, but a corse that can be easily enough
changed under general in the Safari preferences.
You wrote:
and how do you tell it not to go to
any page when you open safari?
Aah, Again: real easy. When you go into preferences,
Then, go to general.
There is an option under there you can vo+space on to select. I
think it says use blank, or something to that effect. It'll be
obvious.
When done changing the preferences, just hit command+W, which
basicly is the Windows equivalent of hitting control+F34. Not
alt=F4, but control+F4. Basicly, command+W closes the current window
of an application, without qjitting the whole application. If you
wanna quit! an application, as I am sure by now you know, when
you're on the application, hit command+Q to quit.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Hey, it's my pleasure.
Don't worry about it, that's what we're here for!
Chris.
