Re: Copying text from a web site

[Leo]

These are the keystrokes as they have been defined in the dict file:

control plus Y, yank and select.

control plus backslash plus command, set mark.

control plus w, delete the mark.

control plus x, select the mark.

control plus space, set mark


Apparently, there are two keystrokes that perform the same action, and I 
don't know why; however, only the first one works for me when selecting 
a portion of the text.


In my mac, pressing control plus space does not perform anything unless 
after this combination, I press control plus w, and what it does is to 
delete all the text above the mark.


In addition, I don't know what yank and select means nor do I know what 
it performs.


Finally, this is how I succeeded in placing a mark and selecting all the 
text from that point to the current position of the voice over cursor.


First, go to the specific point in the text where you can place the 
mark, and press control plus command plus backslash. (voice over does 
not announce anything)


Second, go through the text  until the second point, and press control 
plus x plus x. (voice over announces the selection and start reading the 
selected text)



As a final comment, this only works for me in pages or textedit, but it 
doesn't work in web pages; however,


something is something and I find it particularly useful, so I would 
like to thank Anne for the feedback.



Best,
   Leo.

Second, the key stroke to set a mark is actually control-@ as defined 
in the dict file.  Note however that you can change it to whatever 
you would prefer.



I also want to note that the keystroke vo-enter that Jonathan 
mentioned is correct.  However it seems to be dead in the current 
version of Mojave.  It is working in Catalina developer beta 6 however.

Hello Anne,

First of all, Thank you very much for your help, this seems to be
a wonderful solution; however, for some reason that I still
cannot understand, it didn't work for me. I followed your
instructions and pasted the resulting folder inside the library
folder of my user, but still, the keystrokes don't respond, and I
have even tried this in combination with the function key with no
luck. Besides, I've been doing some research on Google, but I
can't find anything that could lead me to respond why the
keystrokes are not responding.

I'm on Mojave latest update. Would anyone know why this happens?

You should now be able to mark the start of your selection with

Re: Copying text from a web site

First, you need to create a folder in your Library folder called 
KeyBindings if you don’t already have one.

Second, the key stroke to set a mark is actually control-@ as defined in 
the dict file.  Note however that you can change it to whatever you would 
prefer.


I also want to note that the keystroke vo-enter that Jonathan mentioned is 
correct.  However it seems to be dead in the current version of Mojave.  It

Re: Copying text from a web site

[Leo]

press command plus shift plus H, this will open your user folder, then 
press command plus shift plus . (period key)


Since some folders such as this library folder are hidden, first you 
must press this combination in order to make all this folders visible.


Press the same combination to reverse this, and please, let us know if 
it worked for you.



Best,
   Leo.

You can select text between two markers in any text document on the

In your Downloads folder, open the Keybindings.zip with Cmd-o.
Paste the resulting folder into your user library folder.
You should now be able to mark the start of your selection with

You can sorta do this if the text is in a block, but if there
is graphics or tables or even perhaps font changes I find the
below method does not work.
1. Go to starting text and interact until it says interacting
with text.
2. Press VO-return. VO says start selecting.
3. Move to where you want to end the selection while moving VO
will make a dragging type of sound.  and press vo-return
again. VO should say   stop selecting.
Now perform what ever actions you need on the selection. The
good thing about this, is if you somehow break the selection,
the sound will stop.

wonderful solution; however, for some reason that I still cannot

respond why the keystrokes are not responding.


I'm on Mojave latest update. Would anyone know why this happens?

Re: Copying text from a web site

Hello Dan,

In Pages, for instance, you may wish to select text between two headings. You 
can use the rotor to find the first heading and set a hotspot, then use the 
rotor again to find the heading where you wish to end the selection and set 
another hotspot. Go to the first hotspot and press Ctrl-Space, then go straight 
to the second hotspot and press Ctrl-x-x and the text in between will be 
selected.
You can’t press VO-Return at the first hotspot, jump to the second and press 
VO-Return again and have the intervening text selected.

Cheers,

Anne

How is this different in function then the vo+return at start and end of

A cmd+c will copy it for use elsewhere.

Hello Leo,

 

You can select text between two markers in any text document on the Mac if you 
do the following:

Click on this link to download Keybindings.zip

<http://cecimac.net/KeyBindings.zip>

 

In your Downloads folder, open the Keybindings.zip with Cmd-o.

Paste the resulting folder into your user library folder.

You should now be able to mark the start of your selection with Ctrl-Space, 
navigate to the place you wish to end your selection and press Ctrl-x-x. The 
text in between wil be selected.

 

Cheers,

 

Anne

Hi,

well if you red the question that started this thread, you'll notice that 
basically your question and my question are the same. Though I wanted to copy 
text from a web page, you want to copy from a text editor; in addition, as far 
as we've been told, there is no way to place two marks in a text and 
automatically select the text between them. Since this is the basic concept 
behind the function that we are looking for, this probably cannot be done on 
Mac, neither on a text editor nor on a web page.

 

Best,

What should I do if I need to select long passages after  placing a selection

Hi, I'm not Jonathan, but the answer to your question is yes, it works. Just 
make sure after pressing vo-return, not to stop pressing vo, then you can errow 
to select as much as you want.

You can sorta do this if the text is in a block, but if there is graphics or 
tables or even perhaps font changes I find the below method does not work.

 

1. Go to starting text and interact until it says interacting with text.

2. Press VO-return. VO says start selecting.

3. Move to where you want to end the selection while moving VO will make a 
dragging type of sound.  and press vo-return again. VO should say   stop 
selecting.

 

Now perform what ever actions you need on the selection. The good thing about 
this, is if you somehow break the selection, the sound will stop.

Working in windows with jaws, I can copy text from a web page following these

through the text body just until the point where I want to drag the selection,

Can this be done somehow with voice over?

If someone had information about it, it would be great!

You could try using shift key and arrow keys to see whether you can 
select the text.  If that’s failed, I use copy last phrase to the 
clipboard method which copies the last chunk of text Voiceover says by 
pressing vo+shift+c.  You don’t have to wait until voiceover finishes 
speaking the block of text. As soon as it starts speaking, you can 
press this key combination and the chunk of text gets copied to 
clipboard and you can then paste it elsewhere.  This is not a tidy way 
of doing this but it works if all else fails.  But do try the shift 
key down and arrow keys method.  It’s been improved of late by Apple

Re: Copying text from a web site

[Leo]

Hi, I'm not Jonathan, but the answer to your question is yes, it works. 
Just make sure after pressing vo-return, not to stop pressing vo, then 
you can errow to select as much as you want.



Best,
   Leo.

You can sorta do this if the text is in a block, but if there is 
graphics or tables or even perhaps font changes I find the below 
method does not work.


1. Go to starting text and interact until it says interacting with text.

2. Press VO-return. VO says start selecting.

3. Move to where you want to end the selection while moving VO will 
make a dragging type of sound.  and press vo-return again. VO should 
say   stop selecting.


Now perform what ever actions you need on the selection. The good 
thing about this, is if you somehow break the selection, the sound 
will stop.

Hello everyone,

I wonder whether what I want to do on my mac can be done or not.

Working in windows with jaws, I can copy text from a web page
following these steps:

First, I define a marker, which would be the initial point, and
then I go through the text body just until the point where I want
to drag the selection, and

I press a keystroke which performs the action described as select

Can this be done somehow with voice over?

If someone had information about it, it would be great!

Re: Copying text from a web site

[Leo]

Well, for some reason this doesn't work for me. After interacting with 
the text, whenever I press vo-return voice over makes that little sound 
which means no performed action. I don't know why.



Best,
   Leo.

Copying text from a web site

[Leo]

Hello everyone,

I wonder whether what I want to do on my mac can be done or not.

Working in windows with jaws, I can copy text from a web page following 
these steps:


First, I define a marker, which would be the initial point, and then I 
go through the text body just until the point where I want to drag the 
selection, and


I press a keystroke which performs the action described as select the 
text between  mark place and current position of the cursor."


Can this be done somehow with voice over?

If someone had information about it, it would be great!


Best,
   Leo.
