Well rather than my attempting to replace the Voiceover Help system on this I thought it is easier just to paste in the Help Voiceover provides on this on all Macs anyway. Copy of the help section on Hot spots below. For reference this comes from Chapter 5 of the Getting Started with Voiceover.
Monitoring items with hot spots You can use hot spots to monitor up to ten items per window or to jump to those items later. After you set a hot spot for an item, you can use the hot spot until you close the window that contains the item. If you turn off Voiceover and then later turn it on and open a window in which you previously set hot spots, your hot spots are still available. To set a hot spot: Navigate to the item and press VO-Shift-[number key]. If you assign a number that’s already being used in a hot spot, the new hot spot replaces the old one. To remove a hot spot: Press VO-Shift-[number key] on the hot spot. For example, if you had set a hot spot on the first icon in the Dock (say, by pressing VO-Shift-5), you would press VO-5 to jump to that hot spot and then press VO-Shift-5. VoiceOver removes the hot spot from the icon. To use hot spots: list of 3 items ▪ To jump to a hot spot, press VO-[number key]. ▪ To hear a description of a hot spot, press VO-Command-[number key]. ▪ To watch for value changes in a hot spot, press VO-Command-Shift-[number key]. VoiceOver announces whenever the watched item’s value changes. When you no longer want to hear value changes, press the command again. list end When you jump to hot spots in tables, lists, or web areas, you can immediately interact with those items; you don’t need to enter a VoiceOver command to interact with them. To use the Hot Spot Chooser to browse and jump to hot spots, press any hot spot key twice. For example, you might press VO-7-7 to display the Hot Spot Chooser. The Hot Spot Chooser lists all active and inactive (those in closed applications) hot spots. You can use hot spots on some non-English keyboards. -----Original Message----- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of George Cham Sent: 19 May 2014 00:03 To: Mac-access iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Playing movies in iTunes And how do i remove a hotspot?
