[macvoiceover] Re: For Shaun, finder and desktop.

funny,

I almost never use the doc.  The only time I do is when I want to get 
something out of the trash.  When all windows are closed, you are in the 
finder, to get to applications, I press command-shift-a from just about 
anywhere.  the desktop is that finder window that you get when all other 
windows are closed.  There is a command to close all windows, but I don't 
remember what it is off hand.  Type ahead is cool as is mentioned by Keith 
here below so for instance, if I am in the applications folder, I can type m 
and go streight to mail.  it will take me to itunes etc.  The nice thing 
about the apps folder is that if you set it to icon view, you can tab throgh 
it if you like and it feels more like windows.  you can also up, down, left 
and right arrow through it.

Hi Shaun,

You are doing great and asking good questions.

Let me tell you a couple of things that I do which has been a great
help to me.  This may not be the way every one els does it, but, it
works for me.

I use the doc a lot.  The doc is a place on the screen where many of
your apps can be accessed from.
To get to the finder, I use the doc.
To get to the doc, I press command-option-d and arrow right, or left
with out the VO keys until I hear finder and press enter.  If you
want to make sure that all of your windows are closed, you can close
one at a time with command-w.

If you know what you are looking for, lets say folders, start typing
"fold, until you land on a list of folders.  When you find the folder
you want, press, command-o to openit.

Desktop.

Now the desktop is different.  The desktop is a place where you may
choose to keep files, like a loveletter, grin smile.  You can get to
the desktop by pressing control-option-shift-d and if you want to go
to loveletter, just start typing, love and you will land on your
loveletter, then press command-o to open it and it will open it in
the application that you wrote it in.

I will be in the office most of the day and I would be honored to
help you.
