I think a lot of people think of it only as a way to use VoiceOver one handed. Simply a way to not have to hold down the VO key while navigating with VoiceOver. Often it seems to be thought of and taught as a”hack” to simplify VoiceOver and make it work similar to other screen readers on other platforms. However this practice can not only be limiting as it leaves a lot of functionality and flexibility on the table, but it can also lead to getting into situations that leaves one to believe VoiceOver is confusing or difficult and doesn’t make sense.

Today, lets see if we can’t demystify this feature of VoiceOver and unlock some of the power behind it to make using your Mac a smoother and more efficient experience. Learn how Quick Nav is more than just a way to use VoiceOver one handed. It can get quite powerful and flexible and we’ll cover it all in this tutorial.

The feature in VoiceOver is called Activities and this tutorial for the visually impaired user demonstrates how to take advantage of this feature. In this example we show how someone who doesn’t want to stop using Control And Option as their VoiceOver Keys, but finds having Control and Option be available in Logic Pro for key commands useful, can switch Logic Pro only to use Caps Lock as the VoiceOver Key and have control and option still be available as their VoiceOver Key outside of Logic. You will need to be on mac OS 15 Sequoia or later for this feature to be available to you.

If you would like to see how to make VoiceOver use Caps Lock for the VO Key Globally and not only in Logic, see this tutorial.
