Hi David, Thanks for this. I added lines to the rotor. When I tried Shift down this selected the line but VO didn't announce anything so I'm not keen on that method.
I tried the interact with text, press VO Enter thing and this worked fine but I found I could select stuff with just the arrow keys and don't have to press Option and Command with it. I'd really like to use theVO Shift C thing because I think that would be the most efficient way but I have a problem with that at the moment. Because I'm using Sticky Keys, whenever I press VO Shift C the last phrase VO said is "sticky key x off". I wonder if I can stop VO announcing the status of the sticky keys? Their status is indicated by sounds which I'm used to so would like to stop VO announcing them if possible but I don't know if this is possible? Any ideas?
