Hi Kevin,
Try going to VoiceOver utility and turn off " VoiceOver cursor
follows keyboard" focus "
This seemed to tighten up the actual mouse thing.
Your mileage may vary! LLOOOO
Talk soon

Here's what I figured out. The mouse keeps wanting to hang out on
the zoom tool cluster. It reads the proper thing when I use the key
command to route mouse curser to voiceover curser. However, When I
query the mouse curser, it's still in the zoom cluster. No wonder
it's not selecting the tracks. It did for a minute, but no more. Any
thoughts?

It's clunky, but this is the most consistent way I've found so far to
select multiple tracks.
Have your mouse cursor locked to your VO cursor for this to cut down
on keystrokes. Then in the edit window, interact with each track you
want to select and shift+click the name which should be the first row
you land on after interacting. Note that the click has to be done on
the physical mouse or trackpad, and if you use the latter, trackpad
commander can't be turned on.
This workflow would be halved if VO could pass modifiers along with
clicks to the focused application, but it doesn't. I've already
written to Apple about it and used some of their own GarageBand and
Logic modifier tricks as the examples, but would encourage you to do
the same.
HTH a bit

Hey folks. THis is driving me nuts. Their's got to be a workaround
for
selecting multiple tracks using the keyboard for grouping.
Obviously when I
hit vo space on a track in the table, it is selected, but that
selection
moves from track to track. With a control surface, what I would do
is to
hold down a modifier and select all the tracks I need. When I try
to use the
track pad to do this, it doesn't work, so mouse clicking is out.
Anyone have
any thoughts? Or does anyone have a better way to add tracks to a
group with
only the keyboard? There's a group button in the track, but it
says no
active mix groups. I've got a mix/edit group creative and active.
Any
thoughts? Thanks so much peeps.
