[macvoiceover] Re: snow leopard changed implementation of type ahead in finder:

david, actually I had found in tiger and leopard that if you have apps that start with the same letter the press of the letter will bring you to the first app and then you need to tab or press the first few leters of the apps name. This is a bit confusing to my new students but we get through it.

all;
if you use type ahead in the finder and you are sitting on an item whose first letter is the same as an item which you want to move to, pressing tha letter now yeilds silence. for instance, if you are sitting on mail, typing mail yeilds silence. if you are sitting on safari, pressing s yeilds silence but if you hit the letter enough times, you will eventually hear the app you are sitting on. it used to move us from app to app with the same first letter or am I dreaming? use icon mode when doing this.
