That's kind of cool. I didn't realize you could do that.

No, if you press the option key plus the arrow keys, it will show you the
condition of the battery, for example, normal, needs service, replace now,
etc.

Maybe I'm confused. Can't you do that without the alt options? Just go
to your menu extras, and it'll show you the percentage, won't it?

Yes, my apologies, now that I think about it, there is a way to do this
as Sarah suggested, I do this to access the condition of the battery if
I need to.

I don't think that's what he meant. Your Voiceover keys are control
and option. So if you're already holding them down to navigate, then
how are you supposed to get to those extra options which would require
you to hold the option key down while hovering your mouse over the
key. The only way that I've found to get this to work is to open up
the menu, vo+down arrow to the option which needs to be changed over,
then route your mouse with vo+command+F5, then hit your option key
while clicking your physical mouse or trackpad. the only issue with
this however is beware, there really isn't, at least that I know of, a
reliable way to see what the options turn to when holding down the
option key since you can't navigate effectively with voiceover while
the Option key is held down. Again, I know. You already are! holding
down your option key with your voiceover keys. that's my whole point.
If you're holding down the control and option keys already, then you
don't have a w
ay
of specifying to change to the alt option. Ya know? So, yeah, it's
probably not the most effective way to do things, however, that said, I
have found times, very few and far between, but still, I have seen
times where I didn't have a choice, and that's how I got around it.
Again, not probably the answer you wanted, I'm sure, but it's what I
got.

You work with these the same way you do normal menus, when an option
comes up that you want, press VO+Space to activith such options.

hey all,
i have a quick question for you all.
i was playing in the view menu of finder sitting on the arrange by
sub menu and i found that when i hit the option key the sub menu
changed to say sort by.
how do VO users work with this? because you have to keep holding the
option key down to see the new options that come up. how do you
enter these menus to work with the new options?
thanks for any help
