Subject: Re: Making Mail Easier with Activities
Hi,
Does this mean that one can have 10 hot spots per application now?

Yep, activities is really good.
If you want everything to work by gestures, add them to your hotspots and
swipe around to get where you want.
However, tabbing and untabbing is faster with mail.
I've set up quite a few hotspots with garage band and now its such a
pleasure to use it. Done the same with a stock monitoring app, Skype, a
standalone drum kit, and numbers.
Very useful

Activities have some great potential. You can make any VoiceOver settings
application specific. For example, I created a new activity called Mail,.
I enabled hot spots, and checked Mail in the applications. I then quit
the VO utility and went to Mail. This uses the new mail view in Lion, but
you can do the same for the old. I went to the mailboxes table but did
not interact with it, and hit Vo-shift-1 to set a hot spot there. I then
went to the message column and interacted. I went over to the messages
table and without interacting, hit Vo-shift-2 to set a second hot spot. I
then went over to the message content and did the same with Vo-shift-3.
Now I have three hot spots specific to mail that take me to three common
areas in the main window accessible with vo-1, vo-2, and vo-3. Nice and
simple.
It always confused me before that you could only have ten hot spots for
the whole system, and I didn't use them much. Now activities allow for
much greater fine-tuning of the VoiceOver experience. I have a feeling
some shortcuts already exist to do these things, but if nothing else it
demonstrates a new and powerful way to use hot spots and activities to
make the new mail program a little easier. I wonder if APple will begin
making application specific activities of their own in the future which
come with VoiceOver. They enrich the experience.

PS: I also made a Terminal activity without quick nav, to allow full use
of the arrows. I also set the punctuation level to most, perfect for
picking out Unix weirdness. WOnderful!
