Hello Donna,
To enable the service New textEdit window containing selection, go to
SystemPreferences/Keyboard and select Short cuts. in the first table, select
Services, and in the second table, you need to go quite a long way down to find
Text. To set a short cut, I suggest you use something
Hi Barry,
thanks for this clarification. I found out I named the file
DefaultKeybindings.dict and there’s an s too much. ;-) I corrected it and now
it works like a charm. :-)
Also, thanks for sharing the sources of this cool possibility. That’s one thing
I love about the Mac: the community. And
Hi Bary,
This looks really interesting, but I have a couple of questions.
You said ~/library. I assume that's the folder that I access by going to
Macintosh HD, opening it, and going to library?
Second, I was able to create the folder there called keybindings, but when I
tried to save the
Hi Anne,
I actually figured that one out successfully :) As for my shortcut selection, I
disabled one of the services pertaining to Chinese--since I don't speak
Chinese--and used the CMD-Shift-C for the shortcut.
Cheers,

Thank you, Anne! Once again, you've saved the day. I missed the second X, and
now it works just as Barry said. I must say I'm moving into uncharted
territory today. I've never heard of the service you talk about below, but
sounds handy, I'll look into that next. :)
Thanks, Barry, Alex, and
Hi Donna,
You would access ~/Library by going to your home folder with command-shift-h
and go menu. In Yosemite and Mavericks, you can also make it visible by
checking the show library folder in view options.
~/Library is a Unix path and ~ means everything else after it is in your home
The tilde (~) character represents your Home folder. In other words,
/Users/username/library is the same thing as ~/library. Trying to save to
/library (the system's library folder, rather than yours) would have given you
that error.

OK, so I've got the folder in the right library, but when I try to save from

P.S. If you didn't use Text Edit to create this file, what would you use?

Hello,
I just created the document in TextEdit, having set it to plain text before
copying in all the information. I then just removed the .txt from the file name
and it worked perfectly. I’m pretty sure that UTF8 is set by default, so if you
haven’t changed that for some reason, there’s no
Hello Donna,
VO doesn’t say anything when yu use these commands, but the second one is
Ctrl-x-x not just one x.
Have you activated and set a short cut for the service New TextEdit window
containing selection? It’s a quick way to verify that you’ve selected what you
wanted to select.

Hi,
since Yosemite - at least am I aware of it since then - it’s not possible to
highlight text that contains more then one page of text.
I tried to highlight more then one page in Pages and Textedit pressing on top
of the page CMD + a or Shift + End. If I try to highlight text manually using
Hello Jürgen,
In TextEdit, set it to Wrap to window (Cmd-Shift-w) and you can select text in
the normal way. Pages, however, is a different story and it has been discussed
a great deal on this list. A sighted person can select text across page
boundaries in Pages as long as VoiceOver is turned
This looks very interesting, and I didn’t see it earlier either. I’m going to
give it a try.
Thanks Barry

Actually, what I said was to put it in ~/Library. The ~ means home. I should

Did you name the file DefaultKeyBinding.dict?
