Re: help please with how to set up a Siri shortcut for opening a specificwebpage

[Richard Turner]

Actually, Shortcuts is an app, not a setting now.
Open the Shortcuts app, make sure the My Shortcuts tab at the bottom left is 
selected.
At the bottom of the screen, find Create Shortcut.
There will be a search box to find the app you want, etc.
I wrote in Safari.
Several options came up so I chose Go To URL.
In there you can type in a URL and hit next, give it a name.
When you are done, you will be able to say, "Hey Siri, name" whatever you named 
it and Safari will open to whatever URL you chose.
Hth,

Re: help please with how to set up a Siri shortcut for opening a specific webpage

[TaraPrakash]

I guess the best option would be to add the website to the home screen using 
share option in safari. You can give it a convenient name and then ask Siri to 
open The website using that name.

Sieghard,

 

I'm interested in the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless mechanical gaming 
keyboard and Amazon is selling it currently for USD $69.99 which seems a good 
price. I'll confess that I'm a big fan of old-school keyboards which have 
distinctive mechanical click feedback when pressing the keys and I'm still 
using an old IBM PC AT keyboard that I snagged from the trash where I used to 
work. This keyboard is a tank and was obviously over-spec'ed but I offer this 
up so you'll know the type of keyboard I'm used to using.

 

I know you commented on the switches of this Logitech not being as nice as the 
other expensive keyboard you mentioned but I'm curious as to your opinion of 
its mechanical click feedback. I welcome any additional comments you could 
share about it before I order one.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you want a big full-size keyboard for both computer and iPhone I highly 
recommend the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless mechanical gaming keyboard.

It has no backlighting, it uses a USB dongle for connectivity to the PC which 
has a 1 millisecond latency and you can pair it to your phone via Bluetooth 
which is also super responsive. Switching is done via a slider switch and it’s 
virtually instant.

I use this keyboard as my main office keyboard, it is big and heavy and not 
something you would want to travel with and my only complaint is that it uses 
these Japanese switches called Roma-G, I wish it used Cherry MX Blue switches 
which I have on my wired keyboards from the company “Das Keyboard”, I have the 
model called Professional 4 and they are amazing, but also expensive.

Seeing as I've spent a small fortune in search of a satisfactory keyboard, I 
thought I ought to pipe up here. I have a smaller keyboard from Microsoft 
called the Microsoft Universal Mobile keyboard. It's compact and fairly rugged 
with a plastic rubber coated lid which doubles as a stand. You need to type in 
a code when pairing but once that's done, there's realy no lag. I don't know if 
it's still available for sale so you might have to chase that one with Ebay or 
something.

 

The keyboard I'm typing on now is cheeper because it's a 60% mechanical 
keyboard from Keymove. They've made quite a splash in mechanical keyboard 
circles recently. I got mine for $50 Canadian on Amazon. You can choose the 
switch type you want. I like red linear switches. Other types have extra 
audible clicks and add more feel to typing. It only has 61 keys and you don't 
get multimedia controls. You do get an actual physical on/off switch on the 
bottom. The key for slash and question mark is tucked in the corner formed by 
the bottom and right arrows which takes time to get used to. There's no way 
that I've discovered to easly turn off the rgb lighting. You don't have to 
enter a number code when you pair it. The advantages are that it uses 
Bluetooth4 and reports the status of your battery to the battery widget in the 
Today view of your iOS device. Nice to be able to check the battery level. 
There's absolutely zero lag to contend with and the board doesn't feel cramped. 
It is somewhat noisy to type on so I only use it at home.

 

I've just backed a Keychron K6 mechanical keyboard on Kickstarter. It has 
physical switches to change between wired, Bluetooth and off as well as one to 
switch between devices. It uses Bluetooth 3 but given the stellar reviews of 
their prior keyboards, I don't expect much lag. I went with red optical 
switches which should help deal with any lag if I'm wrong. This keyboard will 
also give me multimedia functions despite being a 65% keyboard. I'll also have

Re: Bluetooth keyboard

i’ve had an IClever small foldable keyboard for my iPhone which was
convenient but too small for my sausage fingers. I’m typing this email on a
Logitech K780 but some of my keys are missing and need to replace it. I
want to get into the world of mechanical keyboards. The Keytron K2 just
came out and you can choose which switches you want . I like brown myself.
Maybe one day I’ll break down and jump in it the mechanical pool.

it's still available for sale so you might have to chase that one with Ebay or 
something.

 

The keyboard I'm typing on now is cheeper because it's a 60% mechanical 
keyboard from Keymove. They've made quite a splash in mechanical keyboard 
circles recently. I got mine for $50 Canadian on Amazon. You can choose the 
switch type you want. I like red linear switches. Other types have extra 
audible clicks and add more feel to typing. It only has 61 keys and you don't 
get multimedia controls. You do get an actual physical on/off switch on the 
bottom. The key for slash and question mark is tucked in the corner formed by 
the bottom and right arrows which takes time to get used to. There's no way 
that I've discovered to easly turn off the rgb lighting. You don't have to 
enter a number code when you pair it. The advantages are that it uses 
Bluetooth4 and reports the status of your battery to the battery widget in the 
Today view of your iOS device. Nice to be able to check the battery level. 
There's absolutely zero lag to contend with and the board doesn't feel cramped. 
It is somewhat noisy to type on so I only use it at home.

 

I've just backed a Keychron K6 mechanical keyboard on Kickstarter. It has 
physical switches to change between wired, Bluetooth and off as well as one to 
switch between devices. It uses Bluetooth 3 but given the stellar reviews of 
their prior keyboards, I don't expect much lag. I went with red optical 
switches which should help deal with any lag if I'm wrong. This keyboard will 
also give me multimedia functions despite being a 65% keyboard. I'll also have 
home and end keys.

 

Another keyboard I've tried was from Anker. It's quiet and compact. It also has 
multimedia keys. Doesn't report its battery level and unfortunately suffers 
from a smigion of lag. Just enough to be quite annoying at times. Otherwise, 
it's a really nice design for a travelling keyboard.

 

Earlier, I backed a keyboard from Hexgears called the X1. Again, wonderful 
build quality and a pleasure to type on but absolutely horrid Bluetooth

hi,
I am trying to set up a Siri shortcut to open a specific webpage. I did this

Re: What's App

When I go to settings/accessibility/voiceover, I only see an option for 
navigating images. This is currently set to always. Is this the setting 
which should be turned off or is there another setting buried in another 
place? I see nothing about describing images.

Here are two tips that will make using WhatsApp nicer for you if you're a 
VoiceOver screenreader user (as opposed to a VoiceOver magnification user).



1. On the Settings tab, go to Notifications, and turn off in-app 
notifications. This will stop your phone from buzzing, beeping, and speaking 
while you're using the application.



2. In iOS Settings, go to Accessibility, VoiceOver, then turn off the item 
that automatically describes images. This will stop WhatsApp saying 
something every time a new voice message plays.

Re: Bluetooth keyboard

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Gawd!  I remember those huge heavy IBM keyboards fondly, though mine expired a 
while ago now.  Couldn't find a 5-pin DIN adapter to 
use it by.

robH, has to dash.

Sieghard,



I'm interested in the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless mechanical gaming 
keyboard and Amazon is selling it currently for USD $69.99 
which seems a good price. I'll confess that I'm a big fan of old-school 
keyboards which have distinctive mechanical click feedback 
when pressing the keys and I'm still using an old IBM PC AT keyboard that I 
snagged from the trash where I used to work. This 
keyboard is a tank and was obviously over-spec'ed but I offer this up so you'll 
know the type of keyboard I'm used to using.



I know you commented on the switches of this Logitech not being as nice as the 
other expensive keyboard you mentioned but I'm 
curious as to your opinion of its mechanical click feedback. I welcome any 
additional comments you could share about it before I 
order one.



Thanks in advance.



Alan Lemly

If you want a big full-size keyboard for both computer and iPhone I highly 
recommend the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless 
mechanical gaming keyboard.

It has no backlighting, it uses a USB dongle for connectivity to the PC which 
has a 1 millisecond latency and you can pair it to 
your phone via Bluetooth which is also super responsive. Switching is done via 
a slider switch and it’s virtually instant.

I use this keyboard as my main office keyboard, it is big and heavy and not 
something you would want to travel with and my only 
complaint is that it uses these Japanese switches called Roma-G, I wish it used 
Cherry MX Blue switches which I have on my wired 
keyboards from the company “Das Keyboard”, I have the model called Professional 
4 and they are amazing, but also expensive.

Seeing as I've spent a small fortune in search of a satisfactory keyboard, I 
thought I ought to pipe up here. I have a smaller 
keyboard from Microsoft called the Microsoft Universal Mobile keyboard. It's 
compact and fairly rugged with a plastic rubber coated 
lid which doubles as a stand. You need to type in a code when pairing but once 
that's done, there's realy no lag. I don't know if 
it's still available for sale so you might have to chase that one with Ebay or 
something.



The keyboard I'm typing on now is cheeper because it's a 60% mechanical 
keyboard from Keymove. They've made quite a splash in 
mechanical keyboard circles recently. I got mine for $50 Canadian on Amazon. 
You can choose the switch type you want. I like red 
linear switches. Other types have extra audible clicks and add more feel to 
typing. It only has 61 keys and you don't get multimedia 
controls. You do get an actual physical on/off switch on the bottom. The key 
for slash and question mark is tucked in the corner 
formed by the bottom and right arrows which takes time to get used to. There's 
no way that I've discovered to easly turn off the rgb 
lighting. You don't have to enter a number code when you pair it. The 
advantages are that it uses Bluetooth4 and reports the status 
of your battery to the battery widget in the Today view of your iOS device. 
Nice to be able to check the battery level. There's 
absolutely zero lag to contend with and the board doesn't feel cramped. It is 
somewhat noisy to type on so I only use it at home.



I've just backed a Keychron K6 mechanical keyboard on Kickstarter. It has 
physical switches to change between wired, Bluetooth and 
off as well as one to switch between devices. It uses Bluetooth 3 but given the 
stellar reviews of their prior keyboards, I don't 
expect much lag. I went with red optical switches which should help deal with 
any lag if I'm wrong. This keyboard will also give me 
multimedia functions despite being a 65% keyboard. I'll also have home and end 
keys.



Another keyboard I've tried was from Anker. It's quiet and compact. It also has 
multimedia keys. Doesn't report its battery level 
and unfortunately suffers from a smigion of lag. Just enough to be quite 
annoying at times. Otherwise, it's a really nice design for 
a travelling keyboard.



Earlier, I backed a keyboard from Hexgears called the X1. Again, wonderful 
build quality and a pleasure to type on but absolutely 
horrid Bluetooth connectivity. I use it on my computer now but that one has to 
pretty much go in the loses column.



It's very hard to get something which checks all the boxes. I have fairly high 
hopes for the Keychron K6 but as
