Re: Apple Accessibility is great.

I don’t think that’s slagging Apple. For example, if I didn’t care I would have just switched to the other guys. I actually forwarded my concerns as Ray mentioned and also raised concerns about issues I had with Google to them directly as well. (I have better connections at Google) I care

I’ve had mixed support from Apple but consistently good responses from accessibility. I also had similar experiences in fact I think I may have gotten a blind support engineer at one point. I had folks on the regular support line generally not know as much as I do when it comes to the

Kawal, it’s bots indexing your messages which are being scraped off google and other various sites. There are some protections in place but many don’t work that well. Part of the territory unfortunately. I’d like to see draw and quartering be brought back for spammers but that’s me.;) > On

Okay, little embarrassed to ask this question… ;) When dialog boxes come up and there is a default button, is there a VO command to always select the default option? I’m not certain if VO is consistently over the default button. Thanks, Traci -- The following information is important for

Re: Default button

When a dialog has a default button, the enter key alone will activate it from anywhere in the dialog. This is why you can often press enter in a "save file" dialog, even though you're on the file name or location. There's no VO-specific part of this, it's just enter on its own. Sent from my

That is what VO means, so pressing VO-space will activate that default button. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . "God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the challenges to our intelligence. You simply turn your mind off and say God did it." --Carl Sagan

Likewise, escape usually cancels whatever popped up a modal dialog. If you empty your trash and it asks "Are you sure…" you can hit enter to make it so or hit escape to cancel that. CB On 4/26/17 11:59 AM, E.T. wrote: Learned something new today. Thanks Alex. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . .

I agree with Scott for the most part. The only problem with Amazon, from the Aus / NZ perspective, is that Amazon does not support these markets. So, to use Amazon video, it is necessary to use VPN set to the USA. As for NetFlix, I consistently find that NetFlix has the best programming (shows)
