The trackpad gives you greater flexibility for navigating webpages by allowing you to use your fingers to retrieve information. Through using gestures and the rotor, it gives you access to an array of commands. Just by turning the rotor to hear what’s available and then flicking up and down, you can navigate faster by using the rotor feature selected. Using Gestures and Keyboard You can navigate webpages using both the trackpad and the keyboard at the same time. Here are some examples of how to use both. 1. After turning on the gestures feature and rotor, select Headings and flick down. It will begin to read you the first heading it finds. If you also want to read the text below the heading, use your keyboard and press CONTROL+OPTION and P. This reads paragraphs. You can then move your finger on the trackpad to move around the paragraph. 2. After turning on the gestures feature on your trackpad, you can use your keyboard and press CONTROL+OPTION and D, this will bring you to the dock. You can then use your finger to move through the dock shortcuts, or you can use your keyboard and press CONTROL+OPTION and M to go to the Apple menu bar. It will read you the menu bar options (such as Apple, File, Edit etc) as you move your finger left and right. Helpful Hints While you are moving about the page, dock and/or menu, make sure you are not lifting your finger (flicking) as you move it around the trackpad. Keep your index finger on the trackpad and move it around. If you lift your finger it will read you what the cursor landed on. For example, if you lift your finger while on File in the Apple menu bar, and then move your finger again, it will read you the contents under the File option. Commands The VoiceOver keyboard commands can be found within the VoiceOver application itself. Launch VoiceOver by typing it into the Spotlight and then click the Help button on the Apple menu bar.

  • MACBOOK Keyboard Shortcuts
    MACBOOK Keyboard Shortcuts Learn about common OS X keyboard shortcuts. A keyboard shortcut is a way to invoke a function in OS X by pressing a combination of keys on your keyboard. To use a keyboard shortcut, or key combination, you press a modifier key with a character key. For example, pressing the Command key (the key that has a symbol) and the "c" key at the same time copies whatever is currently selected (text, graphics, and so forth) into the Clipboard. This is also known as the Command-C key combination (or keyboard shortcut). A modifier key is a part of many key combinations. A modifier key alters the way other keystrokes or mouse/trackpad clicks are interpreted by OS X. Modifier keys include: Command, Shift, Option, Control, Caps Lock, and the Fn key. If your keyboard has an Fn key, you may need to use it in some of the key combinations listed below. For example, if the keyboard shortcut is Control-F2, press Fn-Control-F2. Here are the modifier key symbols you may see in OS X menus: ⌘ Command key ⌃ Control key ⌥ Option key ⇧ Shift Key ⇪ Caps Lock Fn Function Key Startup shortcuts Press the key or key combination until the expected function occurs/appears (for example, hold Option during startup until Startup Manager appears, or Shift until "Safe Boot" appears). Tip: If a startup function doesn't work and you use a third-party keyboard, try again with an Apple keyboard.
