I tried “add row” from the context menu, but couldn’t change the key, type, or value once the new row appeared.

“Add Row” adds a row, and leaves a combo box displayed for the key, with the text in the text field part selected. You have to click on the value to edit it, and AFAICT you don’t get to change the type for info.plist keys — they seem to be preset. I can’t tell if the mouse clicking has an accessibility equivalent, but it’s not obvious that it does.

Yes, move the mouse to the VoiceOver focus with control-option-command-f5, then simulate a click with control-option-space. I tried that earlier today, though, and it didn’t do anything either.

It’d probably be easier to edit the raw text in TextEdit. You’d need to know the exact keys for the values you want to add. ATS keys are described here:

Thanks. After playing with it more, including Alex’s suggestions, I’ve not gotten anything to work. Enter adds rows, tab moves to edit fields but nothing else, and nothing I do shifts the combo box where the ‘key’ can be set. Randomly, too, arrow keys stopped moving through the table altogether, and I can suddenly not delete the new rows I accidentally added—delete just bonks at me. Text Edit it is, or that Plist editor that was mentioned. Thanks for the ATS link, by the way.

If it helps, if you can describe what setting you want, I can do it in Xcode and email you a text snippet to paste into TextEdit.

Alternatively, there is a plist editor app in the app store (PListinator). It’s not clear how accessible it is either, but from the way that the fields are highlighted in the screen shots, it looks like it might be usable with VoiceOver.
