found this on the list a few months back and saved it in evernote for future referencs.
Below are the steps I found on the internet for drag and drop with VO. I have a more streamlined approach, but as some of you may have slightly different VO behavioral settings, it's best that we start off with the more expanded but generic version. 1. Using VoiceOver navigation commands, move to the item you want to drag. 2. Press VO-Command-F5 to move the mouse pointer to the location of the VoiceOver cursor. You can verify you have done this correctly with VO-F5 to hear what is under the mouse. 3. Begin the drag action with VO-Command-Shift-Space. you will hear the click of a mouse being pressed, but not released. 4. Turn off Cursor Tracking with VO-Shift-F3. 5. Using VoiceOver navigation commands, move to the location where you want to drop the item you are dragging. 6. Use VO-Command-F5 again to move the mouse cursor to the location of the VoiceOver cursor. You can press VO-F5 to verify you have done this correctly and hear what is currently under the mouse. 7. Press VO-Command-Shift-Space to release the item being dragged. You will hear the click of a mouse being released. 8. Turn your cursor tracking back on with VO-Shift-F3. I have set in the VO utility that the mouse follows the VO cursor, so steps 2 and 6 are unnecessary for me. As is steps 4 and 8. So assuming your VO settings are similar to mine, here are my steps as it relates to PT. 1. In the Edit window, go to and interact with the regions list. Assuming the cursor tracking is on, you can use the up and down arrow keys to select a region, use shift + up or down arrow keys to select contiguous regions, or use a series of VO commands (that I cannot remember right now) to select noncontiguous regions. I seem to recall that the latter requires the temporary deactivation of cursor tracking. 2. Press VO + Command + Shift + Spacebar for the down click. 3. Press VO + I for the item chooser menu. Then start typing the name of the track where you would like to drag the region (narrows down the options, saves time). Pressing return or enter on the desired item (i.e. track) from the chooser menu places the VO cursor on the desired spot.. 4. For the release, repeat Step 2, and presto!
