Note that the user interface of the Mac OS music app is reportedly undergoing revision as of Mac OS 12.2. https://9to5mac.com/2021/12/16/apple-is-rebuilding-apple-music-as-a-full-native-app-with-macos-12-2-beta/ I don’t know whether accessibility-related improvements were or are likely to be included.

Once you get to search, hit the Tab key and you’ll be able to type. Interacting with VO shift down does not seem to work, but tabbing does.

I am using the Apple Magic keyboard, so it has nothing to do with a trackpad. I am using a Mac mini with no mouse or any input method other than the external keyboard.

I can be reading an email and all of a sudden be in safari. Regarding the music app I don’t know. I can navigate it just fine by interacting with the sidebar and the grid. The worst thing in the music app is the search field. When I do a search I have to stop interacting a lot of times to get to the result. And I can’t do another search without first closing the app and restart it. But its just me who don’t know how to handle it. Also VoiceOver is not made for braille users which just is not good. /A 3 feb. 2022 kl. 17:48 skrev 'Kristeen Hughes' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: I would give anything if someone had a way to make the focus better with VO. It used to work so well. The OS before Monterey sort of broke it and Monterey did nothing to fix it at all. Does anyone have a way they’ve come up with to work around it?

Frankly, I hate it! I find it a challenge to navigate. It often says not responding. Frequently voiceover seems to jump out of whatever focus I might be in. I appreciate any advice. I will even consider a different app to manage my music. Thank you, Traci -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
