Hi All, When typing in Lion you can hold down a letter for just a second or two and it will pop up a list of alternate versions of that letter, such as the various accented characters. However, I can only seem to make VO read either the first or last character in the popup list. I've tried all the methods I can think of to navigate the list: Interact, VO+Shift+J, VO left, right, up, down and inside-out, but none of them are doing the trick. I know other letters are there. If I right arrow a different number of times before pressing Return, I get a different character with each different number of arrow presses.
For example, my Mac is set to US English and I'm typing on a US English keyboard and when I press and hold the letter "A" for a second it will silently popup a list of alternate versions of the letter "A" and if I press right arrow once VO will announce "à" (a grave). If I continue to arrow right I will hear nothing more, but if I press Return after my second right arrow it will insert "á" (A acute). Has anybody had success with this feature? I've recently learned the other methods of inserting characters -- with help from Anne R and Esther -- but I was thinking this would be a pretty nice addition to the input methods.
