Hello Dónal, I’ve just installed all the updates but haven’t looked at them yet. The return of short cuts for styles is indeed very welcome. And that’s great news about Keynote, too.
Another interesting improvement is the addition of vertical rulers in Pages. The other day, we discovered a serious bug in the way VO announces the position of the insertion point. It progressively underestimates the distance down the page which means that a blind person can’t tell whether an object, such as a scanned signature, is in the right position. The position of the object is shown correctly in the formatter, but the insertion point is given as higher up the page than it really is. A vertical ruler will help a sighted person understand the problem. Obviously, I reported this problem to Accessibility and included a document to illustrate it.
