New to MacBook and having issues

By Fi, 11 November, 2019

Hi
I have recently bought a MacBook Air and I am having problems using the trackpad commander when voiceover is on. It skips lines and jumps about the menu. There is also a lag. I assume you can use the trackpad gestures as well as the keyboard commands without any issues or do they conflict? Apple did a clean install and I am still having issues. I am new to using a Mac so I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks.

is trackpad commander turned on?

Sounds like maybe your track pad commander is turned off so it's behaving more like a mouse? I found this on how to turn it on. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT205770

Hiya Keith
Thanks for your link. Trackpad is definitely turned on. I use the 2-finger twist gesture to turn it in and off. I assume by your answer that this is not normal behaviour!
