This is amazing!
Why don't you have her go to an Apple store and purchase some 1 to 1
sessions or take part in some workshops? Apple are supposed to be pretty
good at this thing.

Hi all,
Thanks to a very generous person, my (sighted) mother is finally using
a Mac instead of her old, dying, Vista laptop. The difference is
amazing; her Windows machine was so bad that, when I reminded her
today she could just leave a few apps open at once on the MBP, she was
surprised, and asked if that wouldn't lock up the Mac like it did on
her other machine.
Anyway, the transition is surprisingly smooth so far. However, there
are tons of tricks I don't know, and/or don't even know about to
research. Things like split screen, moving windows around, scroll
gestures, drag and drop modes and commands, what icons do what, and so
forth. Sure, I can tell her all the keystrokes I know, and most will
carry over as they aren't VO-specific, but the point remains that she
can do a great deal with the trackpad that I can't, so I'm not the
best teacher for that aspect. Does anyone know what resources are out
there? Perhaps a good web series, or a book similar to Mastering the
Macintosh with VoiceOver--but for sighted users? I know this is
slightly off-topic, but I'm not sure where else to ask.
Thanks for any ideas. Sorry if you get this twice; I'm posting it to
two Mac lists I'm on.
