Hi Darrell, One way to do this is to lock the VO keys by pressing VO ;. You can then unlock them by pressing VO ; again. The tric is to remember that you locked them or you will get all sorts of strange happenings as you try to navigate.

Hello Everyone, I now have a MacBook and I am jumping into the world of Snow Leopard and VoiceOver. As some have stated, I am learning a new way of computing as compared to Windows. Since I am not leaving Windows, all this feels very overwhelming at the moment. I have a MacBook with its built-in keyboard. I am not using an external keyboard at this time. Since Control and Option are found only to the left of the space bar, how does one reach for commands like VO-A, VO-F2, etc? Regards, Darrell
