Re: Typing On The iPhone's On-Screen Keyboard
Well, I've gotten faster with two fingers, and even with Fleksy I use two fingers, rich makes things faster. I'm using Fleksy for VoiceOver right now, because I really don't like the regular Fleksy app, because of the smaller typing space and the inability to automatically copy and clear when switching away from the app. I just hope they have Fleksy for VoiceOver as a keyboard of its own.

Re: Downcast adding a podcast help
Hi, Thanks. Not sure what Shift Command t is meant to do but it doesn't do anything for me. But I went into that table and interacted with the search like you said, typed in the box and pressed Enter. I then stopped interacting with it and the table and then went across to the search results. The troublesome bit which still puts me off sometimes is in order to get to the search bit you need to go past the specify url bit, and every time you go past that it pops up asking for a url but then you can just press escape and carry on moving through the table to find the search bit.

tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
I know this might be a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. How do I tag somebody by first name only on Facebook? Like I'll see people tagged in something and only their first name shows up. Also, I know how to tag people in a status, but how do I do so in a comment? The directions I find talk about using the @ symbol, start typing a name and a pop up menu, but i'm just not seeing it.

Leaving the list, probably permanently
It's with major dismay that I need to announce my leaving of this list. The odds that I will ever rejoin at this point in time are very very slim. I can't say whether anyone on list has done anything wrong per sé. There are a few members who'll be left unnamed who've done some things I consider definitely to be questionably borderline, but the main reason that I'm leaving is due to lifestyle changes. You all probably are not gonna see me around in the blind community hardly at all anymore. Don't ask why. You don't wanna know. If anyone wants to keep in touch, send me your name, Skype name, e-mail, phone number, whatever you want me to have, off list to: cgwaxhawlo...@clgproductions.com I'll then take it into consideration. Again folks, I feel I had a lot to give to this mac community, and it's very saddening to me that I'm having to make this decision, but there have been some things in the last few days especially, which have caused me to re-evaluate my life priorities, and right now, I don't have time to give to this list, so me staying would be completely unfair to everyone. I'd probably be more of a burden than I would a help. Anyway, I'm gonna say my goodbyes and be outta here, as I'm getting a bit misty eyed. I thank all of you who took the time these last 3 years, whether it be on this list, Mac Visionaries, privately, whatever where ever, who have dilligently worked with me on learning the mac, and Voiceover. Without you guys, I never would have progressed to where I am now. My heart really goes out to all of you with gratitude. Have a wonderful day, and I wish all the best with their macintosh/IOS/Apple TV endeavors.

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
There is no such thing as a dumb question, except the ones that are not asked. You never know if someone else has the particular question you want to ask. I've actually been wondering the same ting. If you can though manage to do it, you delete the last name of the person. I'll actually have to play with this as I am not sure either how to do this and also cannot get this done. I know how to do it in ios, how ever that won't help here. lol! Take care of yourself and be blessed.

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
Hey Sarah, Yeah, it's like, I can hit the @ sign and start typing, but I never can seem to access the drop down menu that's supposed to appear. Somehow I've seen other blind mac users do it, I just can't figure out how. I'm not particularly even sure if I know how to tag somebody in a comment or by first name only on IOS, but I've never tried it either.

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
Ok all, after doing a little further research, here's what I think I've figured out, and maybe one of you real voiceover pros can help us out, but maybe this isn't fixable either. So, here's the deal. I'll give you the good news first. On an iPhone, iPad etc, you can hit the @ sign and begin typing somebody's name, feel higher on the screen and you should see a list of people who's names begin with the letters of the name you're looking for. Select the person you're looking for and continue with your comment. Don't put a space between the @ and the beginning letters of the person's name. If you want the last name or middle name or both gone, then after you select the person from the list, hit the backspace once to get rid of the last name and twice if the person has a middle and last name that you wanna get rid of. Now, for the bad news. The process should be the same for the mac, hit the @ sign and then begin typing a name, and a drop down menu should appear and you should be able to select the person, hit backspace if you wanna get rid of the last name, etc. The part that we VO users can't get around is that once you start typing, no drop down menus seem to appear. I don't think Voiceover is recognizing the menu, assuming it's there. I'm not sure if it's fixable or not, but maybe somebody more knowledgable than I can take this info and do something with it.

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
Hello Laurel Sarah, On my Macs I’m currently able to tag FB Friends from a popup list using the following steps: 1. This assumes the latest versions of MacOS and Safari are installed, QuickNav is turned off, and that javascript is enabled in Safari (Safari / Preferences / Security / Enable Javascript). 2. Go to the main Facebook site www.facebook.com. Note that this will not work on the mobile Facebook site, m.facebook.com. 3. On the main Facebook page, navigate to and activate the button labeled “Update Status.” VO now announces “What’s on your mind” and I can start typing my status update here. 4. When I want to tag someone in the body of the status, I type the “@“ symbol followed by the first few letters of their name, as you mentioned, and then I can use one of the following three methods to select and insert the desired name into the status. Note that all of these methods require Javascript to be enabled in Safari. Method 1: Press the down arrow key with no modifier keys and VO automatically moves into the list of matching names and I can highlight the friend I want to tag and then press VO+Spacebar to insert the name into the status and resume typing. Method 2: if your Mac has a mouse or trackpad and if you are comfortable using it and if you have your VO Verbosity set to speak text under mouse after delay of zero seconds” you might be able to press VO+Command+F5 to bring the mouse pointer to the VO cursor and then move the mouse pointer down through the popup list of names and click once to insert the name. Method 3: Open the Item Chooser menu (VO+I) and type the first few letters you typed in step 4 above. This narrows my item chooser down to the list of names in the popup list and I can then navigate and select the desired name using normal Item Chooser / VO commands. BTW, On my Macs I normally use the FB mobile site, m.facebook.com, but I’m not able to tag friends using the mobile site, which is why I wrote my instructions using the standard FB site. Also, I’ve not yet tried removing the last names from a tag, so I can’t speak to whether or not that works in Safari on the Mac. Lastly, while the folks at FB are undeniably making great strides in terms of site accessibility, I have a sense that they are still prone to making random, unannounced back-end changes that alter the layout and behavior of the site. Thus, YMMV. HTH, and please let us know if this works for you, Bryan On Jun 16, 2014, at 6:49 PM, Laurel and Stockard laurel.stock...@gmail.com wrote: Now, for the bad news.

I'm not sure if it's fixable or not, but maybe somebody more knowledgable than I can take this info and do something with it. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
Beautiful. It worked well. Now let's see how long it works. Lol! it's a shame this will not work on the mobile site. Bleh. Thanks for the instructions.

This assumes the latest versions of MacOS and Safari are installed, QuickNav is turned off, and that javascript is enabled in Safari (Safari / Preferences / Security / Enable Javascript). 2. Go to the main Facebook site www.facebook.com. Note that this will not work on the mobile Facebook site, m.facebook.com. 3. On the main Facebook page, navigate to and activate the button labeled “Update Status.” VO now announces “What’s on your mind” and I can start typing my status update here. 4. When I want to tag someone in the body of the status, I type the “@“ symbol followed by the first few letters of their name, as you mentioned, and then I can use one of the following three methods to select and insert the desired name into the status. Note that all of these methods require Javascript to be enabled in Safari. Method 1: Press the down arrow key with no modifier keys and VO automatically moves into the list of matching names and I can highlight the friend I want to tag and then press VO+Spacebar to insert the name into the status and resume typing. Method 2: if your Mac has a mouse or trackpad and if you are comfortable using it and if you have your VO Verbosity set to speak text under mouse after delay of zero seconds” you might be able to press VO+Command+F5 to bring the mouse pointer to the VO cursor and then move the mouse pointer down through the popup list of names and click once to insert the name. Method 3: Open the Item Chooser menu (VO+I) and type the first few letters you typed in step 4 above. This narrows my item chooser down to the list of names in the popup list and I can then navigate and select the desired name using normal Item Chooser / VO commands. BTW, On my Macs I normally use the FB mobile site, m.facebook.com, but I’m not able to tag friends using the mobile site, which is why I wrote my instructions using the standard FB site. Also, I’ve not yet tried removing the last names from a tag, so I can’t speak to whether or not that works in Safari on the Mac. Lastly, while the folks at FB are undeniably making great strides in terms of site accessibility, I have a sense that they are still prone to making random, unannounced back-end changes that alter the layout and behavior of the site. Thus, YMMV. HTH, and please let us know if this works for you, Bryan On Jun 16, 2014, at 6:49 PM, Laurel and Stockard laurel.stock...@gmail.com wrote: Now, for the bad news.
