Greetings all, This does not work for me here, either Cara's approach or Tracy's, which I think are actually the same. Any thoughts on some other possibilities? I've been able to view the details of apps in the mac app store previously on Ventura, but not any longer. I want to say that I used to be able to VO command space to perform actions on the apps list. This does not work anymore, if it did before.
When ever I route the mouse to any area of the text of the name of the application, VoiceOver speaks that it is on the get button. If I perform a mouse click, it then asks me if I want to install the application. Thanks for any help. --FC On May 1, 2023, at 19:00, Traci Duncan <our4p...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, thank you for your reply. > > I just tried what you suggested, and it didn’t work for me. :) However… > > What worked twice in a row was moving the mouse focus to the app and left > clicking on it.
