Excellent tip. Do you know where I'd need though to route the mouse with my
vo+command+F5? What do I need to have focused when I do this.
Chris.

Subject: Accessing things in the status bar was Re: Porting qwitter to mac?
Hi,
Beside the "sync" menu there's a menu where many icons for apps are, such as
skype, evernote, facebook clients etc, should you have them. For some
strange reason, those menu choices aren't accessible in the standard way
with Voiceover. There is no way as far as i know to get at them. You can
access these items with the physical mouse or a track pad by routing the
mouse (cmd+vo+f5) and then grab the physical mouse or put your finger on the
track pad and gently moving left, you should then hear something like, for
example "transmit menu button". Clicking there opens the menu for the app
you're on and there you can do various things.
Hope this clarifies things.

Here's my! question.
Why can we not access things in the status bar? Correct me if I'm wrong,
but, we can access the clock, the battery, the airport, the bluetooth,
etc. Isn't that? in the status bar? So, yeah, ok, if we can do that!
then, well, why can't we access these other things? Am I confused?
Chris.

No,
This is true. Mainly because it works out of the status menu. Bought
once configured, Its a treat to use. Especially with twitter.

I've wanted to use Boxcar for the mac, but someone told me it's kind of
strange to get it configured correctly with voiceover. Is this a
misassumption?

Hi,
with boxcar for Mac, you can reply to mentions and DMs from anywhere.
All you need to do is assign a keyboard shortcut to bring it up in the
boxcar app.

Yes, agreed. Perhaps, if someone were to create the twitter application
I describe below (how about calling it tweeter?), there could be a
keystroke that was global, that when pressed would pop up a dialog in
which you could compose a tweet.
I do find sometimes that the ability to read tweets from anywhere is,
while great, distracting
Perhaps another keystroke could be added that popped up a dialog with
the timeline

Very well said. The only thing I'd like to add is that the thing I like
best about qwitter is that it runs in the background;
you can just use it where-ever you are on the computer without having
to alt-tab to it first. So, if you're writing a
document, or playing a game for example, you can just check tweets
without losing your place in whatever program you were in.
Apart from that particular convenience, Yorufukuru on the mac does meet
my needs quite adequately.
Anyway, what is described below sounds perfect to me, but if qwitter
were to be ported to the mac somehow, I'd only use it
over what is already available because of its ability to just run in
the background. I hope that makes some kind of sense.

I see what you're saying. The only reason I wanted to see a port of
qwitter was simply because it provides features that most of the other
twitter clients do not, or if they provide those features they are
either more hidden away or in the wrong place.
It would be great if someone would write a twitter client that had 4
columns lined up; timeline, direct messages, mentions, and sent. Then
you could add more columns for specific people who you are interested
in, so only there tweets showed up. Then a simple tweet box. The
ability
to follow people, unfollow people, and a button to go to their twitter
profile. You could customise the time before new tweets are received.
That's it; that, in my oppinion, would be the perfect twitter client.
Many of the other clients (including qwitter itself) have a lot of
unnecessary features. For example, not to diss qwitter in any way, but
who needs to do a bing search from a twitter client? If I wanted audio
tweets, I would use one of the services already available... and my
twitter client definetly doesn't need a stopwatch build in.
Just my thoughts.

Hi,
Look, i don't want to diss your product, Jonathan but i must ask the
list this: Do we really need a blind specific Twitter
client? Wasn't it so that we chose the Mac platform to get away from
blind specific solutions and be more standard, thus
being able to more easily communicate with sighted people on equal
terms? I can understand the need for one or more blind
specific solutions in the PC world, but here? Am i naive, stupid,
living on another planet?

Hello,
there are some problems to develop a ported version of Qwitter:
* keystroke management is very different in OSX than Windows... We
have to rewrite all modules about keyboard
* window dialog management is very different in OSX.
* there are few diferences in IO file system for OSX and Windows
well, I have a good news... I'm developing Blindtweet for OSX. It is
a twitter client for OSX managed using keystrokes and
it uses speech capabilityes to show the twiter information.
I hope finish it for september and it will be in the Mac app store
