Hello David and Russell, Thank you for the reminder about the ability to lock Control and Option with VO-semicolon. Is it possible to reassign individual VoiceOver keystrokes?

In addition to using vo-semicolon to lock and semi-colon to unlock the vo keys, you can either cross hands or reposition your hand so that you can cover the keys appropriately. I usually find it easier just to cross hands. On Sep 23, 2009, at 2:48 PM, Darrell Shandrow wrote: 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
