Well, control+up and down arrows will move you to the top and bottom of the 
screen, but not inside a document. Command+up and down arrows will move you to 
the top and bottom of the document, though I would never trust it in Word or 
Pages. They are notorious for misreporting the cursor position with VoiceOver.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but that is what I recall. This is why for any serious 
word processing, I use a computer running Word and Jaws.

You can use these commands in any editing app, notes, pages, email, even text 
messaging.  And to go to the top and bottom of text, use control down arrow to 
go to bottom, and control up arrow to go to the beginning.

Re: shortcuts for keyboard and word/pages on ios was Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-25 Thread Russ Kiehne

Perhaps the following will help.  From the ios 11 users guide.

Use these commands (with Quick Nav turned off) to work with text. VoiceOver
reads the text as you move the insertion point.

Go forward or back one character:
Right Arrow or Left Arrow
Go forward or back one word:
Option–Right Arrow or Option–Left Arrow
Go up or down one line:
Up Arrow or Down Arrow
Go to the beginning or end of the line:
Command–Left Arrow or Command–Down Arrow
Go to the beginning or end of the paragraph:
Option–Up Arrow or Option–Down Arrow
Go to the previous or next paragraph:
Option–Up Arrow or Option–Down Arrow
Go to the top or bottom of the text field:
Command–Up Arrow or Command–Down Arrow
Select text as you move:
Shift + any of the insertion point movement commands above
Select all text:
Command–A
Copy, cut, or paste the selected text:
Command–C, Command–X, or Command–V
Undo or redo last change:
Command–Z or Shift–Command–Z

There are commands for moving to the beginning or the end of a document, but 
you can't select text the way you do in Windows. I am not aS Pprofficient 
with bluetooth keyboard commands since all I use them for is typing long 
text, but as far as I know you still have to change the rotor to words if, 
for example, you want to go back a few words etc. I think you also need to 
use the rotor and the text selection set to characters, words or lines to 
select text, you can't just arrow up a few lines, press home to go to the 
beginning of a line and then hold down control+shift and arrow right to 
select a bunch of words, then use Control+c or Control+X to copy or move 
them etc. These are exactly the things people talk about when the topic of 
efficient word processing comes up. Sighted people have it a bit easier as 
they can pinch and stuff like that and see as they are doing it what is 
being selected and so on.`~~~`

you can copy and paste with command+v and command+c).
And if its possible to move to the beginning and the end of a document with

Re: shortcuts for keyboard and word/pages on ios was Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-24 Thread Richard Turner
Hi,
Selecting text with the keyboard with these commands only work if you are 
editing.So, if in an Email that you are reading, you still have to use the Text 
Selection, the same on a web page.
I just tested it.

So if you want to select text using a Bluetooth keyboard, you press option 
shift left, right, or up and down arrows. command o takes you to your document 
list, command v pastes. You obviously have your command b for bold and command 
i and u for italic and underline.

My Mac book pro will be 7 years old this year and while I still use it now and

then, I was in college and had to use a computer for typing purposes. Essays, 
evaluations course work etc. So a computer was required for those long typing 
periods. 

I think, whatever situation one is in, you as the user needs to decide for 
yourself what kit your willing to learn and depending on your skills with 
technology, and platform you want to work with. 

At the end of the day, these are tools and one needs to find the right tool or 
tools to fit work, or play. If that makes sense.

Re: shortcuts for keyboard and word/pages on ios was Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-24 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Sieghard and all,

I just tried using a bluetooth keyboard in Pages. I was able to add Shift to 
commands to select words, characters and lines. For some reason, the commands 
for moving to the beginning and end of a line didn't work, so neither did those 
selection commands, but the others worked fine.

Best,
Anna

Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-24 Thread danielmcgee134







My Mac book pro will be 7 years old this year and while I still 
use it now and then. I find myself using my iPhone and iPad more these days. 
Granted back then, I was in college and had to use a computer for typing 
purposes. Essays, evaluations course work etc. So a computer was required for 
those long typing periods. 
I think, whatever situation one is in, you as the user needs to decide for 
yourself what kit your willing to learn and depending on your skills with 
technology, and platform you want to work with. 
At the end of the day, these are tools and one needs to find the right tool or 
tools to fit work, or play. If that makes sense. 
Regards 
Daniel

RE: shortcuts for keyboard and word/pages on ios was Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
There are commands for moving to the beginning or the end of a document, but 
you can't select text the way you do in Windows. I am not aS Pprofficient with 
bluetooth keyboard commands since all I use them for is typing long text, but 
as far as I know you still have to change the rotor to words if, for example, 
you want to go back a few words etc. I think you also need to use the rotor and 
the text selection set to characters, words or lines to select text, you can't 
just arrow up a few lines, press home to go to the beginning of a line and then 
hold down control+shift and arrow right to select a bunch of words, then use 
Control+c or Control+X to copy or move them etc. These are exactly the things 
people talk about when the topic of efficient word processing comes up. Sighted 
people have it a bit easier as they can pinch and stuff like that and see as 
they are doing it what is being selected and so on.

Mostly on needs and only somewhat on preference. There is no way even if I 
wanted to that I could ever use just iOS for what I do. If you don't need a PC 
for work or a business and all you do is deal with email, browse the web a bit 
(here it already gets iffy) and want to do some online banking, social media, 
home automation then no problem. But as I said, if you spend a lot of time 
online then a PC with Jaws (or NVDA for those who are profficient with it) 
beats Voiceover hands down and I wold probably include Voiceover on the Mac in 
this.

shortcuts for keyboard and word/pages on ios was Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-24 Thread Anouk Radix
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible with the bt keyboard and 
pages or word for ios to use shift+up or down arrow to select text (i know you 
can copy and paste with command+v and command+c). 
And if its possible to move to the beginning and the end of a document with 
command+up/command+down arrow?
Thanks in advance for any info,

RE: switching to ios only

2018-05-24 Thread Carolyn Arnold
When the time comes that my computer has died, I'd use the iPhone only, if 
there was a word processing program in it. There is notes, but it would be hard 
for me to keep three programs that have figures in them. 

I am getting used to the keyboard and do not want a physical one. I never 
thought I'd say that. 

Best regards,

I, too, use only my iPhone! It is so much easier for me, and I can take it 
anywhere! I do have a Bluetooth keyboard which I use when I am doing a lot of 
typing, and, since my Windows laptop bit the dust a couple years ago, I haven’t 
been all that interested in getting a new one, especially since I would have to 
learn a new Windows system and figure out if I wanted to keep pouring money

Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-23 Thread SoonerAnnie
I, too, use only my iPhone! It is so much easier for me, and I can take it 
anywhere! I do have a Bluetooth keyboard which I use when I am doing a lot of 
typing, and, since my Windows laptop bit the dust a couple years ago, I haven’t 
been all that interested in getting a new one, especially since I would have to 
learn a new Windows system and figure out if I wanted to keep pouring money 
into Jaws. I am not doing anything that would necessitate using Word, Excel, 
etc., so am very happy with IOS! As others have said, it is a personal choice 
based on your preferences and needs.

Re: switching to ios only

2018-05-23 Thread Richard Turner
If you need to do much serious word processing, then you do not want to limit 
yourself to iOS only. I do like voice dream writer on my iPhone, but I will 
always go to my computer and use word if I need to do a lot of writing or 
editing. I also use windows since Mac computers confuse me to no end. All that 
interacting and stop interacting stuff...

I know at least three people who are iOS only. They aren’t doing complicated

I might need to do major copying and pasting, and being able to print, because 
I can’t connect wirelessly with the printer I have.

switching to ios only

2018-05-23 Thread Anouk Radix
Hi everyone, My mac is getting rather old and I notice that I use it less and 
less. I have been thinking about just sticking with ios and not getting a 
laptop at all anymore but that is a big step. I have had laptops since 1998 but 
Iuse mine so seldomly that would be a bit of a waste of money. Still its a big 
jump, are there people who have done this already and what are your experiences?
Can office on ios be used?
Greetings, Anouk,
