Hello Anne,
First of all, Thank you very much for your help, this seems to be a
wonderful solution; however, for some reason that I still cannot
understand, it didn't work for me. I followed your instructions and
pasted the resulting folder inside the library folder of my user, but
still, the keystrokes don't respond, and I have even tried this in
combination with the function key with no luck. Besides, I've been doing
some research on Google, but I can't find anything that could lead me to
respond why the keystrokes are not responding.
I'm on Mojave latest update. Would anyone know why this happens?
Best,
Leo.

Hello Leo,
You can select text between two markers in any text document on the
Mac if you do the following:
Click on this link to download Keybindings.zip
<http://cecimac.net/KeyBindings.zip>
In your Downloads folder, open the Keybindings.zip with Cmd-o.
Paste the resulting folder into your user library folder.
You should now be able to mark the start of your selection with
Ctrl-Space, navigate to the place you wish to end your selection and
press Ctrl-x-x. The text in between wil be selected.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi,
well if you red the question that started this thread, you'll notice
that basically your question and my question are the same. Though I
wanted to copy text from a web page, you want to copy from a text
editor; in addition, as far as we've been told, there is no way to
place two marks in a text and automatically select the text between
them. Since this is the basic concept behind the function that we are
looking for, this probably cannot be done on Mac, neither on a text
editor nor on a web page.
Best,
Leo.

Hi Leo,
Thanks for the clarification.
What should I do if I need to select long passages after placing a
selection beginning mark. On the windows front, I tend to keep
reading until a spot where I need to end selection. Is there a way
to place sweet spots and make a text selection between them? I will
be grateful for an answer.
Take care,
Hem.

Hi, I'm not Jonathan, but the answer to your question is yes, it
works. Just make sure after pressing vo-return, not to stop pressing
vo, then you can errow to select as much as you want.
Best,
Leo.

Pages? Kindly let me know.

You can sorta do this if the text is in a block, but if there is
graphics or tables or even perhaps font changes I find the below
method does not work.
1. Go to starting text and interact until it says interacting
with text.
2. Press VO-return. VO says start selecting.
3. Move to where you want to end the selection while moving VO
will make a dragging type of sound. and press vo-return again.
VO should say stop selecting.
Now perform what ever actions you need on the selection. The
good thing about this, is if you somehow break the selection,
the sound will stop.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

Hello everyone,
I wonder whether what I want to do on my mac can be done or not.
Working in windows with jaws, I can copy text from a web
page following these steps:
First, I define a marker, which would be the initial point,
and then I go through the text body just until the point
where I want to drag the selection, and
I press a keystroke which performs the action described as
select the text between mark place and current position of
the cursor."
Can this be done somehow with voice over?
If someone had information about it, it would be great!
Best,
Leo.
