Hi Josh,

It looks like the new pages have a bug, i.e. caps lock should not be colored as an activation key.

https://help.apple.com/voiceover/vo/en/VOKeysColor_1.html  // also pages 2-4.

BTW, I noticed that it's not possible to do multiselect in Finder without using VO, i.e. no way to move the focused list item without also selecting it.  That might be considered a bug that perhaps should be reported in your VPAT, i.e. I assume there are users that don't need VO but can't use the mouse.  On Win that done with ctrl arrow to move without selection and ctrl space to add an item to the selection.

Thanks for the help Jonathan, Alex, and Josh.  The info was on a hardcopy I had printed off a while back, probably late 2011, early 2012 when I first started working on the Java port from Apple to Oracle.  I'll print off a new one.

I got multi-select to work in Finder, though for some reason it took me a few tries.  I'm fixing some issues in Java JLists and hopefully later this week I'll have the JList a11y support fully working.

Alex is right, the command to enter multi-selection mode in VO was changed 2 or 3 years ago from using the space bar to using the enter key. The space bar command opens the custom actions menu.

Pete, please file a bug referencing where you found the old command so we can update our help or documentation.

Thanks!
Josh

The command is ctrl-option-cmd-enter, not space. Once in that mode, use ctrl-option-space to select or de-select. Make sure to navigate with control-option-up/down. as up/down by themselves will undo your selection.

I am trying to do multiple selection in a Java list.  When I press
control option command space bar, instead of entering multiple selection
mode I get a VoiceOver popup with title Actions and with one option to
jump to a check box to the right of the list.

What might I be doing wrong as a user or what might be needed in the
Java VoiceOver support to resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Pete
