Hi,
The best way to do this is to set up a shortcut in Keyboard Commander of VO
Utility. I've set mine up with right option g as my key commander command.
So, I just hold down the right option key with the letter g to toggle it
between the two modes.

How did you manage to do that? I’ve tried it for a good couple of years and
have had no luck with it. It just would play the audio tracks I selected, but
never showed up under finder so I gave up on it after the onset of Apple Music.

Hey list,
Is there a quick way to switch between the two navigation modes on the fly? I
notice that if using group navigation and trying to read comment sections, VO
hangs up as it tries to group everything.

Hi, to answer your questions, the estimated battery life for the bogus

the focus 40.
Please bear in mind however that your battery life will vary depending
on usage when it’s on battery. If you’re using it happily say

So it sounds like you did find the Active Braille to be a better experience, is

One reason I'm squeamish about the ActiveBraille is because of my experience
