Hello Eleanor,
I carefully left a blank line before and after the text to be copied into
the TextEdit document. So all you have to do is select the text after the
first quotation mark and up to the last quotation mark and copy it to the
clipboard, then paste it into a TextEdit document.
Cheers,
Anne

punctuation and multiple " signs. Is it possible to write out this
exactly as it should be written? For instance does one put all the spaces
also and does one put the ;

Hello everyone,
Here is the fix for this problem.
Open a TextEdit document and paste in the following without the quotes:
"{
"^y" = "yankAndSelect:"; //control-y
"^\@" = "setMark:"; //control-@
"^w" = "deleteToMark:"; //control-w
"^x" = { //control-x control-x
"^x" = "selectToMark:";
};
"^ " = "setMark:"; //control-space
"~f" = "moveWordForward:"; //option-f
"~b" = "moveWordBackward:"; //option-b
}"
Save the document as:
DefaultKeyBinding.dict
You’ll need to change the extension to .dict manually.
Go to your user library by going to the Go menu in Finder and using the VO
keys to navigate down to Library.
Create a folder Called KeyBindings and put the .dict document into it.
From now on, you should be able to select text in any text editing
application by pressing Ctrl-Space to mark the beginning of the selection,
and Ctrl-x-x to mark the end of the selection. Everything in between will
be selected, including page breaks.
Cheers,
Anne
