Making universal control work with VoiceOver

By Mlth, 27 November, 2022

Hi
Does anyone know how to get universal control to work between the mac and iPad with VoiceOver enabled? I've set up all the options a needed, but still need a way to trigger the switch to the iPad using the keyboard instead of moving the pointer to a certain place. Is there a way around that?

Trial and error

By Cobbler

I've no personal experience, but I recall somebody saying that there was no keyboard shortcut for moving the cursor between devices, so they had to use the trackpad. With some trial and error, they were able to get this to work relatively consistently even without any visual cues.

Hopefully somebody with actual experience can share their best practice.

In the meantime, please do let us know if you get this to work and if it's been worth the effort.

I haven't gotten it to work…

I haven't gotten it to work yet, but I'm curious if one could write an AppleScript script to move the pointer to the recquired coordinates, even though it's a really hacky way of doing it. I'll check up on that.
