So, one thing I really don't like about MacBooks. So, imagine this. There is no Windows laptop with a number pad. None at all. Number pads are just gone. And there's also not much of a laptop layout for screen readers.
Okay, so maybe I like the numpad commands a bit too much. I rely on them a ton with web navigation, and navigation in general with VoiceOver. But if you don't have an external keyboard, well you're back to using arrow key quick nav and trackpad if you can stand it when you barely touch it and VoiceOver stops talking cause you touched an empty area, or VO focus jumps around cause you forgot to turn trackpad commands off. Oh and try reading the audiogames forum with arrow key quick nav on. I don't know why, but for me, it acts like it's off sometimes, and ever since then I've been kinda hesitant to turn it on in case it does something weird again.
I also know I should probably just get an external keyboard. But at the same time, I don't need an external keyboard when I'm using Windows. Why should I have to get one just for a Mac to feel comfortable?
But also, I get it. Apple is inflexible, and blind people are very much obviously not their only customers. I get that and feel it every day from every single company out there. But my goodness I wish Apple would put a number pad on their MacBooks.
