Talking

Why would you want to, unless your mouse is broken?

Talking keyboard fnctionality

the only good thing to ever come out of windows is the ability to access anything on the screen through the keyboard. this cuts down on slow "change-over" time from hand to mouse back to keyobard. it would be great to have this functionality in OS X...

Re: yup yup yup

Why dont you people memorize the commands that you need such as command-p, command-S etc etc .. thats a way to access all these menu functions.

Also its is good to note that windows developed as a graft on to DOS, and in a DOS application that had menus you had to be able to access menus from the keyboard, so what windows did wasnt something really innovative

Exclamation there are more commands than that...

not every action in every menu can be preformed through a key combination... theres gotta be a simple way to solve this...

but, enough with the questions, does anyone have an answer for me?

thanks,

Wink For OS9, yes

There is an app for OS9 that will let u access the menu; can't remember the name, but it's on chezmark.com Anyway, I'm sure there is a way to port that over to OSX, and if they don't do it, then that gives me one more fun thing to figure out
