Hi Christine and everyone.
Okay, I'm on the MacBook now so I thought I'd share what I did to get
rid of Mission Control's annoying unwanted appearances.
1. go into system preferences.
2. Interact with preference panes scroll area.
3. VO-right-arrow to the keyboard button. Note: You will pass by
Mission control, which does contain some keyboard options. But these are
for keyboard commands while you're in Mission control, so they're not
what we're after at the moment.
4. Select keyboard and VO-right-arrow to the keyboard shortcuts tab and
select it. Note: You'll pass by the keyboard tab on the way to the
keyboard shortcuts tab.
5. VO-right-arrow till you hear "shortcut categories table.
6. On mine, Mission control was the first item in the table. If it
isn't for you, up and down arrow till you find mission control.
7. Then VO-right-arrow past a vertical splitter, then you'll find
mission control shortcuts table.
8. Here's where it got interesting for me. If you don't interact with
the shortcuts table, you can up and down arrow, hearing checkboxes which
are either checked or unchecked. But of course, you can't change the
state of the checkboxes. Once you interact, you can uncheck these boxes,
you just can't tell what you're unchecking. So I just kept tabbing and
shift-tabbing back and forth, being careful that I didn't get myself
into a strange table and uncheck some big thing somewhere. <grin.>But
when you're not interacting with the shortcuts table, you will see
things like application windows, control-down-arrow. If you count from
the top, knowing which one this is, just interact, uncheck that box and
your life will be so much more peaceful.
9. If you stop interacting with the shortcuts table, you can
VO-right-arrow to the place where you can decide how the tab key
behaves. Or you can just close with Command-W and enjoy your Mac life.
Anyway, there may be an easier path, but I hope this made sense and did
some good.
