Hi Bil and others, I think I can confirm your problem and It's like you says: all works well unless you have to select text that is not splitter by another control like button, checkbox, link... Yes, there are a few workarounds like vo+shift+c or vo+enter to accomplish this task but, why different ways for such simple task like selecting text on a webpage. IN windows, it works also with shift+control+arrow keys like in a editor.
My problem I have is with tables: when searching for timetables of the train. There is something on the screen like this: startstation starttime stopstation stoptime change duration startstation(link) 11:10h stopstation(link) 12:00h 50 min. 0 50 min. (perhaps here some textual comments about actual changes) startstation(link) 12:10h stopstation(link) 13:00h 50 min. 0 50 min. (perhaps here some textual comments about actual changes) startstation(link) 13:10h stopstation(link) 14:00h 50 min. 0 50 min. ... It's difficult to select this table because of the restrictions bill is speaking about and, I think, it's to much for the vo+shift+c command. With command+a, command+c, this is a lot off more work. Als, the fact that this topic is coming back som much , I think it means that Apple should find a solution for this that works in all situations... That's my opinion. Any hints/comments are very welcome. kind regards, William Windels Op 16-jan.-2012, om 20:17 heeft Bill Holton het volgende geschreven: > Hi. > As I understand it, there are a few ways to select text in Safari.
