Thanks Ann, I assume this also holds true for Control clicking. Is it
necessary to turn VO off before clicking, or is it sufficient to simply turn
off Trackpad commander? Sarah's message seemed to indicate it was necessary
to turn off VO (Command F5).

Subject: Re: option clicking a button with VO
Hello Phil,
Using VoiceOver, a simulated mouse click is VO-Shift-Space bar. You can do
an actual mouse click by pressing down on the trackpad. You have to have
Trackpad Commander turned off to be able to click with the trackpad.
In VoiceOver Utility, under Verbosity, I always check the "Speak text
under mouse after delay" check box. This lets me know should I
accidentally move the mouse when touching the trackpad.
So, an Option-Click can be done by routing the mouse to where the
Option-Click should be done, then holding down the Option key and pressing
the trackpad.
I regularly get a contextual menu by holding down the Control key and
clicking with the trackpad as I find it more reliable than VO-Shift-m.
Cheers,
Anne

I am quite new to the Mac and would like to ask, exactly how is the
"click" performed? I mean, you say route the mouse to VO, turn off VO and
then do an option click, but you don't say how to perform the click. Are
you using an actual mouse, a trackpad? I don't have a mouse, just a
trackpad, so how exactly would I do the "click"?
Thank you in advance for being exact in your answer.
