Does anyone know how to easily select text on a web page? I figured out a
procedure, but it is long and drawn out, and takes quite a few steps. I read in
the manual about using the command and option keys along with the arrow keys to
select text, and although this does work in a regular document, I can't get it
to work on a web page. What I have been doing is interacting with each block of
text, pressing vo return to turn on selection mode, moving the right arrow over
the text and hearing vo say each word, pressing vo return again to indicate the
end of the selection, pressing command C to copy the text, stop interacting
with the block of text, pressing command tab to go to pages, and finally
pressing command V to paste the text into the pages document. This process
takes an extremely long time to go through, especially when it's the lyrics to
a song, and each line is a separate block of text. Does anyone know of a
simpler way to do this?
