Thanks, but I’ve never been able to get this to work. Sometimes, I have sections 1 and 2, but often I don’t. In this view, my touch bar is always blank, meaning I have no icons to double tap for removal. There’s no indication of what’s in the bar and what’s not, and focus jumps from section to

Hey Alex, Thanks for all this! It's great info. I had no idea about the new volume control commands, they're way easier than going into the rotor. I might give the trackpad commander another go. I tried it a while back, and gave up, because it seemed I was always brushing it with my wrists

Note that using numbers for f keys doesn’t always work. For instance, you can’t use fn-accent to escape from menus, but you can do so to close VO dialogs. I’ve been using a Touch Bar since last winter, and I still haven’t worked out when this does or doesn’t work. The option I’d suggest is to

Hi Donna, The regular numbers row will act as function keys if you also hold down the function key next to the Control key, along with the VO keys. All If you want the numbers row to turn into function keys, hold down the function key and swipe right or left on the touch bar until you find

Hey Scott, Thanks. I've been thinking I'll give it a try as is and see how I like it. But yeah, the Magic keyboard is definitely a possibility. I just always hate adding a keyboard as a peripheral, sort of negates the purpose of having a laptop. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 11, 2017, at 10:47 AM,

Hi Donna, here’s how you do it. You buy yourself a magic keyboard and use that instead.;) Ok soil you have to use the touch bar you can flick left and right to select the F key or also approximate the location and touch there. Then you have to hold down the FN key and the two VO keys and
