![]() ![]() ![]() Tedious, yes, but OS Mouse Keys really extends the power of VoiceOver. It may take a sighted friend to help figure out the moves but once you know the steps, you can do it yourself. You learn techniques like moving the VoiceOver cursor to the loop name, then bringing the mouse cursor to the voiceover cursor, then moving the mouse cursor to the left by pressing numpad 4 a fixed number of times, then pressing numpad 5 to left click the mouse on the control. And, J, K, and L are 1, 2, and 3 on the numeric keypad.įor the mostpart, moving the mouse cursor does not cause VoiceOver to speak. U, I, and O are 4, 5, and 6 onn the numeric keypad. I would have to look it up to be sure, but I think that 7, 8, and 9 on the numbers row are 7, 8, and 9 for the numeric keypad. Turning Mouse Keys off restores the normal function of the righthand side of the keyboard. On a laptop keyboard, turning Mouse Keys on disables most of the keys on the righthand side of the keyboard because the righthand side of the keyboard becomes the numeric keypad. Cursor up is tnumpad 8, cursor down is numpad 2, cursor left is numpad 4, and cursor right is numpad 6. OS Mouse Keys is turned on by pressing an option key five times. ![]() If you only have a laptop keyboard,it can still be used but it is more of a pain. Basically, the OS Mouse Keys function allows the mouse pointer to be manually moved onscreen using your numeric keypad. This is not part of VoiceOver but it it is very useful in any number of situations. I have not encountered the situation you describe but if an arrow exists on the screen but the problem is that you can't bring the cursor to it to it click on it, try using the OS Mouse Keys function. ![]()
