Great guide; I was actually looking for a way myself to somehow navigate patches without having them load. The only solution I came to was using a bug with VO multi-select, but this is far nicer to use and doesn't require finger gymnastics or a keyboard shortcut-filled brain. Unrelated question: what were those bloops and tocks when you opened and quit System Settings?

I used to have to turn off cursor tracking to drag and drop music from iTunes to my old iPod back in the early days of both OS X and the old clickwheel iPods.

When you showed the example for sound, I nearly jumped for joy.
Because you are right, it is quite annoying, which is why i had Voiceover set to go to the headphones spesifically in VOUtility.

This is brilliant. I don’t use Logic, but I can see how this would be useful.

@doubletap Great video. I have actually set this function as an easy keystroke on my numberpad commander because I find it so useful in some apps.

Thank you!!!!! this fixes so many annoying little things about certain apps and there strange tendency's.

@fireborn @Tamasg Surprising to me as you're like, the Mac guy I go to when I don't know something. lol

It depends on how well the list you're scrolling implemented accessibility, but there's one caveat to note. When going down a long list with VO+down past what your screen can display, the list won't likely scroll along with the VO cursor. Pressing VO+Shift+Space could then end up clicking something else. also, don't forget to turn VO cursor tracking back on when you are done. In most cases, you will need it. Otherwise, you could end up activating something else.

@chikim Oh I always have it on, apart from these very rare instances. And yeah, I've seen how it behaves with long lists, it's not pretty.

Yea I figured you already knew that. I was just giving more context for other people who haven't tried the feature. :)

@chikim I also found it useful when dealing with popups that get shown on focus and disappear as soon as the keyboard focus moves away.
