[macvoiceover] Re: Copying text from Safari

David,
I just tried it, and I've discovered that you not only need to interact with the group, but then you need to interact with the text in order to use VO-select. I tried it on a wikipedia page, and discovered that you need to interact with each individual item in a group - blocks of text, links, etc. Unfortunately, just interacting with the group, and it's text, isn't enough, but it does work.
I never even realized this command existed until you brought it up! Thanks! 

Regards,

Ron

I'm not certain of this but if you are in group mode and interact with a 
group, you can use vo select.

HI David,

I've discovered that VO Select (VO-Return), doesn't work if you're in
Group Navigation mode - only in Dom Navigation mode.  Another thing
which can be done, in addition to what you've mentioned, is to get the
text from a web page, using Automator.  Again, it is necessary to edit
out unneeded stuff with this method.  I have a copy of this workflow
if you, or anyone else on the list, wants it.

Also, David, or anyone else, if you wish to chat with me, off list,
my Skype Name is: Ganahee, and I can be reached at: Ganahee@xxxxxxxxxx
HTH?

vo-enter.  interact with the text you want to copy and press vo-
enter to
turn on vo select and when you are done selecting, press vo-enter to
turn it
off and then copy.

Hi All,

Anyone got any tips on copying text from Safari to Textedit?  I've
been using V O Shift C to copy the last spoken item, but could do with 
more choice over what is copied.

Regards.

Ian
