Re: New window versus new tab

2010-06-24 Thread Chris Moore
Presuming you already have some tabs open, press VO + Up to stop interacting 
with HTML, then move left and right to the tab you desire and then VO + space 
to perform a mouse click then VO + Down to interact with HTML 

I guess you can now see why some users prefer to use windows instead of tabs, 
not sure if there is a key stroke like VO+F2  to enable users to quickly 
navigate tabs in their preferred order instead of using control + TAB which 
lets you cycle through in a linear format.

Linda, 

I totally forgot about Command +  (accent) `  yes this is a very good way to 
cycle through open windows, quicker then VO+F2, although pressing F2 twice 
reads out the title of the current window and the title of the other open 
windows when moving the cursor keys up and down.  That is what I love about the 
Mac, there are so many ways to do the same task which enables you to find a way 
that suits you instead of being forced to do it one way only.

Re: New window versus new tab

2010-06-23 Thread Alfredo
When I was sighted I used tabs because they used to sayt hat opening
new windows would take more ram, which, if you had many opened
windows, would slow down your computer.  Tabs open the new web page
inside the browser window which saves ram by not having to open a new
instance of the browser.  I do not know if this is tru today, but I
suppose it should hold tru.  Tab browsing is not only for the sighted
but for the blind, as you can manage your opened webpages, since when
wanting to change to another webpage you just control + tab.  When you
want to change to another program, you would just command + tab, a few
times, instead of many times because the webpages are opened in a
program window.

Yes, your explanation was very good.  BTW, I've been using
command-accent to cycle through windows.  Since I've gotten used to
that, I guess I'll stick with it.

Ok I can appreciate why this might be confusing.  For myself when I was
sighted a few months ago I always preferred tabs as it visually keeps
the desktop tidy and keeps all your safari windows in one place.  Plus
if I was on several different websites such as Amazon or Play i could
quickly compare prices between the two sites instead of having to keep
moving open windows around.

As a blind user now I guess it just comes down to what you are used to
and comfortable with  With tabs I can quickly cycle through them with
Control + TAB.  But equally so with open windows you can VO+F2 and then
select the window from the list.

So there is no right or wrong way, I would just say for a sighted person
I think most people would prefer tabs.

Does this answer your question?

Re: New window versus new tab

2010-06-23 Thread Chris Moore
Ok I can appreciate why this might be confusing.  For myself when I was sighted 
a few months ago I always preferred tabs as it visually keeps the desktop tidy 
and keeps all your safari windows in one place.  Plus if I was on several 
different websites such as Amazon or Play i could quickly compare prices 
between the two sites instead of having to keep moving open windows around.

As a blind user now I guess it just comes down to what you are used to and 
comfortable with  With tabs I can quickly cycle through them with Control + 
TAB.  But equally so with open windows you can VO+F2 and then select the window 
from the list.

So there is no right or wrong way, I would just say for a sighted person I 
think most people would prefer tabs.

Does this answer your question?
