Re: [Mac-Access]: Detecting colour on the Mac

Anne,


Thanks for that. I thought that was the case. Since if you are editing 
documents or programming. Not knowing the indent is something that is very hard 
on the author. There are workarounds of course, but they are not very effective 
and interrupt your workflow.

This is problematic. VO-F4-F4 will give you the position of the insertion point 
but this is its visual position on the screen. If you set the zoom to 200% the 
information won’t be dreadfully inaccurate, but it won’t be precise either. 
I’ve been complaining to Apple about this for several years.

Cheers,
