[macvoiceover] new user, some questions

Hello ,
I am a new blind mac user out Belgium.

At the moment , I haven't a mac yet but I am planing to buy one.

I should use a handytech braille star as braille display, is this a good
model?

I have now a old linux desktop with debian and a windows xp laptop.

I have tested a mac for 2 short times and I had some problems to have a
real good start:
- how can I change the brailletable of the system?
  currently , only US-table is available and normal, I use the
  German one.
  Can I chose another, or adapt this table easily?
- is there also a Dutch voice available instead the English voice?
- I have troubles to read texts in the default editor of the mac and
  also in ms word (for mac).
  My braille cursor is not following by default.
- I have read something about a vo-cursor.
  Is this something like the jawscursor in jaws for windows?
  So you can move the mouse-cursor with the arrow-keys.
  How can I activate this cursor and can I access the click-functions of
  the mouse with this cursor?


At the moment, I have found the following shortcuts:


- apple+tab: switch between applications
- ctrl+F2: open program-menus
- command F5: start/stop voice-over
- control-option-f2 (2 x chort): list switch open windows;
- Control F8: activates statusmenu's (battery, bluetooth)
- command+, : preferences and options of a specific program

Where Can I find more (recent) documentation and tips for using voice over?

thanx in advance,
William Windels
