Well, that was a scary experience. There’s a lot more going on there than meets the eye (excuse the expression, but it’s literally true in this case). 1. That “invisible button” on the right isn’t an invisible button, it’s another column in the outline view. It’s empty in most rows, but in a top-level row (like Window), it actually contains a button that causes the auto-layout errors to be displayed. (The outline view slides over to the left, and the auto-layout errors list slides in from the right.) If there are no auto-layout errors, the button that’s there is invisible, though it still works. (!) The virtue of going to this column, in your instructions, is that it isn’t an editable outline view cell, so you can’t accidentally start editing text, as happens if you try using the main column. (The column to the left of the main column is the disclosure button, of course.) 2. What happens when you press the Control key during dragging in an outline table is that the selected row, which got is selection dimmed when dragging starts, gets its selection undimmed and you can’t drop. I dunno why. 3. What happens when you press the Command key during dragging is — exactly nothing. 4. What happens you press Command *and* Control during dragging — depends on which outline view it is. In the navigator pane, it works like plain Command (does nothing). In the object outline, it works like plain Control (disables dropping). Cases 2 through 4 are the behavior using an actual mouse/trackpad. Continuing on with VO: 5. What happens when you unlock the mouse to end the drag, given that you have Command+Control held down because VO, is the same as #4 (i.e. nothing) *except* when you drag between scenes, in which case it works. (!) VO summary: — You can rearrange a regular outline view like the navigator pane. — You can’t drag into the IB object outline, except… — … in the unique case of VO dragging between scenes, you can. Executive summary: — You can’t drag an object out of the object library using VO, at least not by dragging it. I kept the best till last: 6. Although VoiceOver Utility is configured to allow Command+Control *or* Caps Lock as the VO modifier, Caps Lock doesn’t actually do that on my Apple keyboard. If the light is on, it goes out when VO is enabled, so something thinks it’s trying, but it doesn’t actually work. If it did, it would solve all of the above by avoiding the need for Command or Control to always be down. Somebody in Cupertino needs a dope slap, I think.
