You have not understood the bug at all as I too have these problems with caps lock and I do not like it. Even though Voice Over says tap twice on the shift key to get caps lock. Kawal. On 20 Sep 2015, at 01:22, Alex Hall wrote: I'm not sure why, but I can't reproduce

Hello Craig, VO-F3 should tell you what page you’re on. If you set the zoom to 200% VO-F4-F4 will give you a pretty close approximation to where the insertion point is on the page. I’m a bit confused about what you mean by Column number. If you have two or three columns across the page, you can

Is the bug just the phrasing of the hint then? Sighted users would double tap, VO users would triple tap. The gesture hasn't changed, only the text of the hint. The triple tap works for me, and I don't know about others. So is the problem just the changed hint? Sent from my iPhone > On Sep

Depending on which Macbook Pro you’ve bought and which Macbook Air it’s replacing, the designed battery life may be less right off the bat. According to VMWare’s documentation, VMWare Fusion Pro 8 does indeed allow power users to specify whether integrated or discrete graphics are used. I’m

No, just that triple tap won't put the caps lock on and letters are presented as lower case. Voice over says triple tap to put caps lock on and nothing happens, letters are lower case. On 20 Sep 2015, at 12:11, Alex Hall wrote: Is the bug just the phrasing of the hint

Locking Caps -- Was: Re: IOS 9 impressions?

Alex, You are correct. I cannot put caps lock on by doing a one-finger triple tap on Shift. However, if I place my index finger on the Shift key and then triple-tap with my middle finger caps lock does go on. Okay, it works, but I hate selecting keys like that. I’ve gotten pretty good at

It's definitely a bug, but at least there's an easy workaround in the meantime. For the record, you need only tap the other finger twice, not three times. Thanks for confirming it works on other devices. > On Sep 20, 2015, at 10:14, Eileen Scrivani wrote: > > Alex, >

Alex, I had this problem also, on my phone. Triple single-finger tap to put caps lock on just does not work. The hint clearly tells you you can do it for caps lock, but when done it is not working. I never had issues with it in the past, only now after the IOS 9 update.I am only able to do

Re: Locking Caps -- Was: Re: IOS 9 impressions?

I am not sure this needs fixing. The change was made in an effort to make the action more reliable. Doing a split tap works. One finger on the shift key and do a double tap with another finger. Its awkward but how often does one need to do this? From E.T.'s Keyboard...

I just tested it again. If I split tap the shift key twice (effectively triple tapping), caps lock is enabled as expected, for as many letters as I want. If I triple tap with one finger, I can't get it to work. To anyone with this problem: see if a double split tap (that is, touch shift with

Re: Learning Pages for the Mac

The big problem with your deffinition of column is, print does not work that way. In most fonts, individual characters have differing widths, so there are not exact columns of letters on the print page. It is not like braille where there is a precisely defined cell space. This means, you need
