Guys, I confess, I really haven't had a need to fool much with asking this question in the past, but lately as I'm doing more with my mac, I'm finding it to be a bit of an annoyance.
I'm going to use a particular example in this message, however, realize that I'm not speaking just within ITunes here. I'm speaking just in general throughout the whole entire OS. The other night, I was wanting to listen to some ITunes internet radio while in bed, seeing that I normally keep both my macbooks on the nightstand at the head of my bed. So, I got into ITunes internet radio. I located the table near the bottom of the screen and interacted as usual. Nothing out of the norm. I found the country category, and it obviously was collapsed. So, I did the logical thing. I hit vo+backslash and expanded the category. Once done, I vo+down arrowed quite a ways to find the station I needed. Once I did so, I realized they've removed the station. So I got to thinking, maybe it's not in country. Maybe they moved it under folk, or something. So, I pressed vo+backslash again to collapse the country category. Ding ding ding? It wouldn't let me. I finally realized that the reason was because I was down inside the expanded node of the branch. In other words, I was inside the expansion. I wasn't sitting out on the top level that I expanded earlier. Now, I was down inside it. With Windows, it didn't matter. As long as I was underneath the branch I wanted to collapse, or was sitting directly on! the branch, I could just hit left arrow. On the mac, it doesn't seem to be that forgiving. I literally have to be very specifically on the actual item which was expanded or collapsed. So, I'm thinking ok, no biggy, just hit left arrow. That did no good. Vo+left arrow only took me to the previous collumn within the current row of the table which had focus. So, the million dollar question: If you're say, 30, 40, 50, or whatever rows deep away from the top node of the tree, surely! Apple doesn't expect me to sit here and just vo+up arrow 50 to a hundred times, just to get back to the top of the node to collapse it, do they? Is there not a quicker way to jump back to the top of that branch, so I could then hit vo+backslash to collapse it? If my question doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try making an audio demo later to better explain.
