Hello everyone,
Here is the fix for this problem.
Open a TextEdit document and paste in the following without the quotes:
{
^y = yankAndSelect:; //control-y
^\@ = setMark:; //control-@
^w = deleteToMark:; //control-w
^x = { //control-x control-x
^x = selectToMark:;
};
^ = setMark:; //control-space
~f = moveWordForward:; //option-f
~b = moveWordBackward:; //option-b
}
Save the document as:
DefaultKeyBinding.dict
You’ll need to change the extension to .dict manually.
Go to your user library by going to the Go menu in Finder and using the VO
keys to navigate down to Library.
Create a folder Called KeyBindings and put the .dict document into it.
From now on, you should be able to select text in any text editing
application by pressing Ctrl-Space to mark the beginning of the selection,
and Ctrl-x-x to mark the end of the selection. Everything in between will be
selected, including page breaks.
Cheers,
Anne
Re: [Mac-Access]: Pages, selecting text across page boundaries
I find the information below very confusing as there is a lot of punctuation
and multiple signs. Is it possible to write out this exactly as it should
be written? For instance does one put all the spaces also and does one put
the ;

Re: [Mac-Access]: Pages, selecting text across page boundaries
Hello Eleanor,
I carefully left a blank line before and after the text to be copied into the
TextEdit document. So all you have to do is select the text after the first
quotation mark and up to the last quotation mark and copy it to the clipboard,
then paste it into a TextEdit document.
Cheers,
Anne

Re: [Mac-Access]: Pages, selecting text across page boundaries
I'll give this a try. This could be a temporary work around until apple fixes
the pages with voice over issue. and the across page boundaries is a voice over
issue only as I stated before. I tested this. In the mean time I think I'll
keep contacting accessibil...@apple.com mailto:accessibil...@apple.com and
keep worrying them about the issue.
Take care to all.
