I think I remember someone saying that they used a key remap app to set
right shift key to act as the right control key. Then, right option+right
shift acted as right VO keys.

Hi Mary,
I dove in to the mac world with a laptop & never bought a full keyboard.
There are times I have found the need to come to the left side of my
keyboard with my right hand, however, It is tolerable. I would think you
could set a hot key to do what your wanting to do minus your full keyboard.

This is directed at laptop users who elect to stick with the built in
keyboard on your laptop, rather than connecting a full usb keyboard. I am
very use to my full keyboard with its num pad, which gives me access to
num pad commander and both sets of vo keys. I also have a magic track pad,
but to be honest, I don't use it much, as it is separate from the
keyboard, and I've just never found it all that efficient.
That having been said, I'm strongly considering purchase of a Macbook Air,
and that has no num pad and no vo keys to the right of the space bar.
There are certain vo command combinations that I use a whole lot, like vo
A and vo D, just to name a couple, and there is no way I can do those with
my left hand alone. I'm guessing that having the track pad integral to the
machine will make it a lot more natural feeling. I'd still like to kick
Apple for getting rid of the control key on the right, but since that's
not practical, I'd be curious how you MacBook owners who also have
desktops with a full keyboard dealt with the transition. Do you miss the
vo keys on the right and the num pad?
