think about this, what key would you use? we are not activating screen reader commands, we are using the "screen reader".
The virtual buffer in windows and I said so at the time is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in access technology and it is now coming back to haunt developers in a bit way. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Truong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS Xby theblind'" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 12:11 AM Subject: RE: webkit I truly think Voice-over should change the vo-keys to be vo-key. To me it's ridiculous to have to press two keys before you've even pressed another key making it 3 just to activate a screen reading command. Ah well, you guys have gotten use to other such stupidities before. So I guess I'll have to as well if I want to use the mac smile. Please don't flame me as I still love my mac pro smile. But I just hate having to press more keys than I should. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacob Schmude Sent: Saturday, 15 November 2008 11:04 AM To: General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind Subject: Re: webkit Hi Esther Actually ,they do work, but there as been a change in the Webkit code base. For access keys, you must now press ctrl+option and the letter. Needless to say this is annoying as all get out, as it interferes with just about every Voiceover key combination around.
