Are you getting an error? I am pasting a code snippet I used to move the VO
cursor to the sound menu extra a while back. I gave up on the script because I
wanted to option click the sound menu, but could not get that step to work.
tell application "VoiceOver"
tell vo cursor
output "Looking for sound menu extra..."
move to menu extras
delay 0.5
set info to ""
repeat until info contains "Sound"
move right
delay 0.75
set info to text under cursor
end repeat
if info contains "Sound" then
perform action
delay 0.1
End Tell
End Tell
Reviewing this code, I believe it actually clicks the menu (perform action) .
Another thing you might look at is the text library.
I believe you should be able to do something like:
select the first paragraph that contains "#"
Were you using the VoiceOver find or the application find?
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
