Hi Colin!
thanks alot for your answers, that's exactly what I was looking for.
about the applications, I successfully browsed them, but is there
another place that shows my applications? asking because I didn't see
things like the terminal in there. also, how do I browse my disks and
there contents? something like my computer in windows? I also heard that
there were other utilities like a partition utility, didn't see it.
and finally for now, is there something like a context menu in the mac?
if not, how do you operate on a file, like open it / zip it / see its
properties, etc, etc?
thanks again for the very complete answer that you sent already.
best,
Mohammed Al-shara.

Hi Mohammed!
A quick way to open applications is to use the command [command+shift+a ]
That will put you in the app's!
For the navigation of web you can turn quick nav on by pressing the left and
right arrows down at the same time [vo will say either quick nav on or off]
Other methods include opening the web rota with the command [vo+u ] and in
there you can move from left to right or right to left through headings, links,
visited links,form controls, frames and others!
Then when your on something you want like headers you can down arrow to get to
what you want!
Or if you know what your heading your looking for just type the first few
letters and the list of headers will narrow down!
Or links or form controls which ever your on!
So you get to your header in the list just press vo+space and it will put you
right there!
And if it is a link you want to open just vo+space again!
You can also open Item chooser with the command [ vo+i ] and down arrow through
items there as well that option will or should also show you things like the
close button and other stuff!
So I hope this is of some help to you!
Colin
Qapla!

hi group.
first, I am a new user of mac, and I have recently joined the list. I do own an
iphone from some time, so I am familiar with voiceover with IOS. I have few
questions:
1. how do I browse webpages with the errow keys? I set navigation to DOM, then
I use vo+right errow key to move through the page bit by bit, like I would use
the errow keys alone with windows screen readers. I appreciate that the mac
works differently, however, I think there exists an easier way that I am not
aware of.
2, how do I open my applications menu? if I go to the doc and then navigate to
applications, then press that using vo+space, nothing happens and vo doesn't
read my applications. a sighted friend confirmed that the application list does
open.
3. what resources exist about voiceover for the mac apart from the excellent
getting started guide on apple website, and the builtin help, this group, and
perhaps bits here and there from macaccessibilities? is there something like
www.applevis.com but this time for the mac?
thanks alot.
Mohammed Al-shara.
