[macvoiceover] Copy and paist from a website, some answers.

Hello every one,
Greg and I have spent a good deel of time this weekend and Greg has found some answers from a sighted persons stand point, now, I will try to tell you how it works from a blind persons stantpoint.
First of all, something that will make your life easier when you are trying to copy text from a website. 


Go to Voiceover utilities, control-option-f8.
Now, use control-option-right arrow to move to the navagation tab and press the space bar to high light it. 

Next, tab to "mouse curser tracks Voiceover curser".
If that box is not checked, press the space bar to check it.
Now the mouse curser will go where ever the Voiceover curser goes.

Command-w will take you out of that menu.
Now open a test file in text edit, you can paist just about any where, but, lets use text edit for this test.
Now open your web browser, find a webpage and move to some text that you would like to copy.
With your left hand press, command-option-shift and with your right hand, press the space bar three times quickly and I do mean quickly. If you press the space bar three times slowly, it does not seem to work. 

After you have pressed the space bar quickly, press command-c to copy.
Now use command-tab to move back in to textedit and press command-v to paist your selected text in to your file.
Thats all there is to it. It works every time for me. The block of text in the Voiceover curser should be copied. It seems faster than hilighting text with shift and the arrowkeys, because you can highlight a whole block of text at once.
Greg is working on a kind of endless clipbord that you can continue to add to, so that you won't need to move to the other file quite as often.
He also has another little program that will move all of the text in a website to a file if that is what you want to do.
Please read this over until you understand it and I will try to answer questions. 

This works for me.
