Esther: Thank you for this. I've got a MadGook Pro, and I'm finding it really daunting. Guess I'm getting old:)
Thanks for everyone's help.

If you have a mouse attached, you can click one of the mouse buttons while holding down the control key. Also, Anne mentioned double-clicking on the splitter in mail with the mouse to remove the Preview pane (in another recent post). I find that I can use VO-Shift-Space to click or double click in that instance (hold down the Control, Option, and Shift keys, then tap the space bar key twice quickly in succession). VO-Shift-Space doesn't always work as a substitute for a trackpad or mouse click in apps with transitioning accessibility, but it often does, provided your mouse cursor is at the same location as your VoiceOver cursor (e.g., use VO-Command-F5 beforehand). I distinguish between "hardware clicks" -- where you use a mouse button, trackpad, or the "5" key on the numeric keypad with NumPad Commander activated to click -- and "software clicks" like VO-Shift-Space (or sometimes VO-Space, where VO-Space performs the default action and that is sometimes "click"). There are a lot of instances where you may need to select something by "clicking" first where VO-Shift-Space will work in place of a "hardware click". Sometimes you need to route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor first (VO-Command-F5). In some cases you can only click with trackpad or a mouse button.

Sorry for how ridiculous this sounds.

Then Control-click to get the contextual menu and it works as before. Cheers, Anne On Feb 10, 2010, at 3:59 AM, E.J.

That functionality seems to be missing in Snow Leopard.
