Re: Deleting text, keyboard shottcuts
As far as I can tell, Control-K deletes from the cursor to the end of a line. Here are some other shortcuts I came across: Control-A, move to the start of a line. Control-E, move to the end of a line. Control-F, move to the next character. Control-B, move to the previous character. Control-N, move to the next line. Control-P, move to the previous line. Control-O, insert a new line. Control-H, delete a character. Control-D, forward delete a character. Control-V, move to the end of the document. You can add shift to the movement keys to select text in the respective direction. Not sure why one would even want to use these, since the usual ones work perfectly, but there we are.

Deleting Text
I have a friend who wishes to have characters deleted in the traditional way to how it is done in Windows. She just purchased a Mac. WE were unable to brink up System Preferences with VO F8, not certain why that did not work for her. She loaded VoiceOver, although I could not hear it, but she indicated VoiceOver was on. Is there another way to get to System Preferences other than the shortcut keystroke? Thanks. Les -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Deleting Text
firstly system preferences is not vo f8, that is the voiceover utility one of the reasons you are not able to get to it is because you need to change the keyboard settings to make it the normal way of windows do the following 1 do a spotlight for voice voiceover utility should be the first result 2. go to verbosity with command 2 3 go to the text tab 4 press vo space on the text tab 5 go to where you here when moving the cursor speak text the cursor passes popup button press vo space on that and change the setting to speak text to the right of the cursor that is fort your voiceover problem now to fix your keyboard issue: press vo m to get to the menu bar press down arrow on the apple menu till you here system preferences press enter stop interacting with the toolbar vo right arrow to the preferences pain, interact with vo shitf down arrow, go to keyboard, and find the check box that says use all f keys as standard function keys thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Deleting Text
Okay, thanks. I thought perhaps the function keys needed to be changed. It's been so long since I made the change, I forgot the sequence. Great detail here!

Re: Deleting Text
Hi James, I must have been focused on System Preferences, I meant to say VoiceOver Utilities which of course works when one brings up VO F8; I was in there when I was attempting to assist my friend. Thanks again. Les On Aug 27, 2011, at 5:16 PM, james Walton wrote: no problem. glad i could help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

problems deleting text from file
Hello, I needed to get liecense information from an email message because its long and I need to paste it into an installation window. So i save the mail as an rtf file and then open textedit to highlight (shift-down arrow) and cut (command-x) the text away that I dont need. BUT after the highlighting of the first few lines (its a long mail) voicover stops speaking, i do another few lines but now voicover says only top and bottom of document so it seems that the document is empty. Is this buggy or does it work in other programs? This is rather irritating.
