Hi all,
When I get to the end of a facebook page, the see more link comes up as a
heading instead of a link and I can’t activate it. Just wondering what’s going
on here and how to fix it?
also, how do you create a signature in apple mail?

Focus display and Mavericks
Kristeen Hughes <khwi...@gmail.com> Nov 12 04:27PM -0500
Okay, I look and I don't see some things that seem to be rather importatn. For
example, if you are wanting to switch from one open app to another, how do you
do it with the display. Are you using a keyboard along with the display?
Kristeen
Teresa Cochran <vegaspipistre...@gmail.com> Nov 12 01:58PM -0800
Admittedly, yes, I’m also using a keyboard. My opinion is that you’ll probably
have to do quite a lot of customizing to use a Braille display as a primary
keyboard.
For switching apps, I’d probably map a braille keystroke to VO-applications
list. (VO-f1 twice quickly)I don’t think there’s an easy way to map one to
command-tab.
HtH,
Teresa

Hi,
Teresa is correct, you have to do a lot of customizing in order to get your
focus display to work as your keyboard. Unfortunately, you will have to use
your keyboard more than you would like to. That's just the nature of the beast.

True duys, but I know I can get to the menu with my braille display. I c'
remember how to do it on a Focus 40 although I had one. Can anyone remember
what the braille keyboard command is for going to the menu and using left and
right arrows. I found that useful when I was somewhat away from my computer. On
my Braille Edge, it has some keys on it that will bring up Spotlight and the
menus and the dock. That may help some. For instance, space dd sign will bring
up the dock. Space question mark will let you interact and space low j will
stop interacting. Do you have a list of braille key commands that are already
in place?
Regards,
Gigi
Teresa Cochran <vegaspipistre...@gmail.com> Nov 12 03:18PM -0800
It’s s-chord (dots 2-3-4-space). I just use the panning keys to display
different areas of the menu bar, and then use the cursor-routing keys on the
item I want. sometimes this doesn’t work, and I have to use dot 4-chord and dot
1-chord to navigate through the menus

Thanks,. This info does help. Can you tell me how I can sellect text? I've not
been successful.

Ben van Poppel <benvanpop...@gmail.com> Nov 13 04:26PM +1100
Hi Kristeen, Teresa and the rest. The workaround I did for single-keystroke app
switching was to write two scripts to simulate command-tab and
command-shift-tab respectively. Then I assigned running of the scripts to focus
commands (I used 12-chord and 45-chord). The scripts had one line each:
Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "tab" using command down
Tell application "System Events" to keystroke "tab" using {command down shift
down}
In the examples above the "tab" means double quote then press tab then double
quote again. \t might also be valid. I'm still not applescript proficient.
Hope that trick helps you out.
Cheers. Ben

Hi, Kristeen,
This is the sort of thing that I meant when I mentioned customization. WHAT you’d
have to do is go into your Braille settings, go to the display tab, choose “assign
commands", and assign a Braille command to select text. There aren’t separate
commands for selecting different amounts of text, so honestly, I’m not sure how
you’d do this. Also, unless I’m wrong, you’d have to use command-b on the keyboard
to initiate the Braille command entry. I haven’t assigned keystrokes for this,
because frankly, it’s more trouble than it’s worth to me. Let’s see if anyone else
has already done this, and if not, I’ll experiment with it and let you know what I
come up with. I admit I have my doubts that it’ll be an easy process.
HtH,
Teresa

VO-J and Mail
Janet Ingber <janet.ing...@gmail.com> Nov 12 11:16PM -0500
Hello Everyone,
When I use VO-J to jump from the message list to an individual email,a few
lines are read and then without my doing anything, I’m back in the messages
table. This does not only happen with my Gmail account. I am using the default
mail view and I have not made any changes. This behavior started a few days
ago. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Janet
iBooks internal location on the mac?
Kliphton ------- <kliphton....@outlook.com> Nov 12 09:44PM -0600
Hello. I have imported about 700 books in ePub format in to iBooks. They
read just fine, but I accidently deleted the folder where I originally
imported them from. Where does iBooks store them so I can try to save them
to a different folder for my own reference? Thanks.

xcode 5 question
"Littlefield, Tyler" <ty...@tysdomain.com> Nov 11 02:06PM -0500
Helloo:
Thanks a lot for the info. When it says I have a new window, I have no
way of getting to that window. presumably that's where the variable gets
its name and everything. Does the window just pop up, or do you need to
do something special to get there?
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

I think I may have figured out the issue. with xcode 5 apparently you
are supposed to control+drag, which draws a blue line. clicking and
holding down doesn't work, because I don't get the blue line. Is there a
way to control+drag with voiceover?

It appears this method does not work for me as well. I drag and drop and
hear 'xcode has new window" and that's that. nothing happens and we're
back to square 1.

Hello:
sorry for the double message. Yes, in my routing step I did mean route
the mouse to the voiceover cursor. I just mixed the two up.
Thanks again,

Track Changes or Text Attributes with Pages
Anne Robertson <a...@anarchie.org.uk> Nov 12 11:05PM +0100
Hello Ibraheem,
In the new Pages, if you stop interacting with everything, the second item on
the page is the Change tracking and annotations toolbar group. Interact with
this and click the Next button the changed text will be highlighted. You can
read it with VO-F6 and decide what to do about it.
If you’re using the old version of Pages, you really need a Braille display to
see the changes.
Cheers,
Anne
then
Anne Robertson <a...@anarchie.org.uk> Nov 12 11:15PM +0100
Hello Nic,
Tracking changes is working much better in the new version of Pages. It tells
you whether the change is an addition or a deletion, but I haven’t yet figured
out how to find formatting changes.
Cheers,
Anne
How does one get to menu extra in Maverick?
Teresa Cochran <vegaspipistre...@gmail.com> Nov 12 01:53PM -0800
Odd. control-f8 works fine for me in Mavericks. This is the standard non-VO
keystroke. For that matter, VO-m twice quickly also works. Sometimes the menus
balk when a program is hanging, though.
HtH,
Teresa
On the other hand, there are different fingers.
Barry Hadder <bhad...@gmail.com> Nov 12 04:13PM -0600
Hi,
I have run into that situation several times where control-f8 doesn’t work with
Mavericks. I’ve found that when it doesn’t work, I have to restart to git it
back. I have no idea what causes this. It is true that you can git to the
status menus with vo-m twice, but you can’t move through the menus with the
arrow keys, and sometimes that’s useful.
The Finder keystrokes you mention work the same in Mavericks. At least, they
are for me.

Dear Listers,
I’ve just upgraded to Mavericks. The very first thing I’ve noticed is that the
command ctrl+f8 to activate the menu extra no longer works. Nor can I open a
folder with command down arrow or command + o. It has to be now command + shift
+ o. Is that right?

Is it true in Mavericks that iTunes contact syncing has gone?
Daniel Miller <miller...@gmail.com> Nov 12 04:12PM -0600
Hi,
Yes, it is gone. They want you to eat sync your contacts with iCloud, which
quite honestly, I think everybody should do. But that's just my opinion.

Help with Skype
Brian Fischler <blindga...@gmail.com> Nov 12 04:58PM -0500
Ok, so I get that Skype changed a bunch of stuff recently and I can no longer
access Skype on my iPhone as they seem to have gotten rid of logging in through
Facebook. I am able to log in to Skype on my computer through Facebook, but
can't seem to find any way to change my password so I can access Skype on my
iPhone. I used the Skype desktop app to take me to the website to mange my
account, clicked change password but this seems to take me to an inaccessible
screen as I get the heading for Change Password but then there is nothing to
interact with. Anyone know how to log in to Skype on your iPhone when your
account was created through logging in to Facebook on the desktop? Thanks
