Two keys if you use Caps lock. I thought this was something that would drive me crazy about the Mac, coming from a Windows background, but so what if we have to do an extra key. I don’t like it if I’m doing long term reading, but it helps if you think of it in terms of function. Press the key

But that’s a perfect example of what some of us are talking about. VO-right is three keys, Tab is one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a huge fan of Windows or Microsoft. Mostly I much prefer the user experience on the Mac. I just think there are certain things that can be done more efficiently

It is set to use the Caps lock and Control option keys by default. You can disable one of those under general in the VoiceOver Utility. I use it all the time with no problems. I don’t use quicknav that often. It’s similar to having your virtual pc cursor off in Jaws. The caps lock key makes

QuickNav locks the VO keys on, so you only have to press the modifier key. In my experience, it creates havoc, so I don’t use it, though to be fair, I haven’t tried to use it in several years, so that may have changed. But you turn it on by pressing the left and right arrow keys together.

the vo keys drive me nuts. I mean every time I have had a mac before now using so many keys for certain things have made me go crazy, but part of that is because I don't know all the little tricks around all of that. Logic and work is one of the reasons I have decided to get another Mac Book Pro.
