Hello, I recently upgraded my 2018 iMac to Monterey 12.4. Since then I have suffered from VO constantly saying “accessibility shortcut has keyboard focus” followed by Universal Access Control and a list of possible accessibility options. As you can imagine this is very disruptive! After trying various keyboards I found that the problem only happened if I used a keyboard with the numeric keypad and then only if I pressed the 4 key on the numeric keypad which I do often when using the numeric keypad commander. I normally use the numeric keypad commander all the time. I then looked at my keyboard shortcuts and found that the shortcut for “show accessibility controls” is 4 and that this is unticked by default. Pressing the 4 key on the normal keyboard does not cause this problem but pressing 4 on the numeric keypad does cause the problem. As a temporary fix I changed the keyboard shortcut for “show accessibility controls" to F16 and the problem goes away provided that I do not press F16. This looks like 2 bugs in Monterey 12.4 which could seriously impact VO users who use the numeric keypad commander. The first bug is that the 4 key should have no effect if that option is unticked as a keyboard shortcut and the second bug is that pressing the 4 key on the numeric keypad while using the numeric keyboard commander should not be considered as a keyboard shortcut. Have any other listers encountered this problem? Best regards … Paul Hopewell
