Voice over shortcut on MacOS Mojave not working - accessibility

I'm trying to test the accessibility of a page on my MacOS Mojave via Voice over.
I must be able to turn voice over on and off via the shortcut Command + F5.
But the shortcut doesn't work.
Any idea why?

I found the answer to my question.
I had to go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts/Accessibility
And activate the option Turn Voice Over on or off:
Now the shortcut Cmd + F5 turns Voice Over on or off as expected.

Mojave Terminal not starting nodes from runnodes (Corda deployNodes)

When starting ./build/nodes/deployNodes in macOS Mojave 10.14.1, the terminal opens but does not start up the tabs corresponding to each node defined in the deployNodes task in Gradle.
Specifically looking at the tutorial section here.
Anyone have a solution?
To fix this, go to System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility and make sure that Terminal is in the list and checked (enabled).
If you are running nodes from IntelliJ terminal you have to add it and Terminal to Accessibility and Automation sections.
Accessibility:
Automation:
I am facing the same issue (on Mojave) even after adding Intellij and terminal to accessibility and automation.
The work around is to manually start the nodes via; java -jar corda.jar in each nodes directory.
I managed to fix this issue by resetting security permissions on OSX. I could not work out how to add Java into the Accessability group.
Conditions apply in this paragraph! If you type 'tccutil reset AppleEvents' in a Terminal then this will clear all the security associations. Then when you run applications again you'll get prompted to allow or block. So if you do this, then try ./runnodes again you should see a bunch of dialogs which you can click yes to. The nodes should now start ok.
Also, in your security settings you should see 'Java' appear in the Accessibility group.
Instead of accessibility and automation, to make this work on Catalina 10.15.7 I had to add terminal to the Developer Tools section instead of accessibility and automation:

Jupyter notebook restart kernel with keyboard

I program with my laptop, and having to use the touchpad is just the worst. I <Esc>, 0, 0 to 'restart the kernel' per the keyboard shortcuts docs, but that gives me a dialog... when I hit <Return>, it selects, apparently, the "don't restart the kernel, actually" option. <Tab>, <Return> doesn't seem to work for selecting the 'restart' option in the dialog.
Please help me escape the evil clutches of my touchpad!
If you upgrade to a newer version of the notebook, you can define your own keyboard shortcuts and so could set you own shortcut for the "restart kernel" command which does not prompt you. Editing keyboard shortcuts was introduced in 5.0, and can be done via Help > Edit Keyboard Shortcuts
If you cannot upgrade the notebook for whatever reason, then it may just be your browser. I tested it in both Chrome and Firefox and it auto-selects the Restart option for me, and I can switch between the two options using Tab and Shift+Tab and press Enter to select them.

Toggle Software Keyboard for entire test suite in appium python

Currently I am writing iOS tests using Python Appium and would like to completely hide the software keyboard which pops up whenever you have to type something. I am already aware of driver.hide_keyboard() function but it's a pain to include it everywhere in tests.
I was going over the Appium Desired Capabilites but couldn't find anything that will disable the software keyboard. Appreciate if anyone can help me here?
To disable soft keyboard in iOS simulator do this:
Simulator Menu > Hardware > Keyboard > Connect Hardware Keyboard (enable it)
Even if you quit and reopen the simulator, the selection will stay. I'm not sure what happens when you factory reset the simulator.

LispWorks cannot open in OS X El Capitan

The app icon just keeps bouncing for a few minutes after I click it, and then stop and nothing is show. The app then becomes “Not Responding.”
According to the document, I should be asked to select GUI options, but that didn't happen during the installation process.
I think it has to do with GUI.
So I installed/updated X11, but it's still not working even after that.
I'm using the LispWorks 6.1.1 Personal Edition.
I contacted Lispworks' support team.
It turned out it's because my mac name has a non-ASICC char ' (it was XXX's Macbook Pro).
Changing the computer's name using sudo scutil --set HostName name-you want fixed the issue.

While executing appium test on android device, is it possible to type text using the android keyboard

I am testing android device using appium from Mac machine. Sendkeys is failing on a particular page. Following is the description of the issue i already posted. Sendkeys fails on android appium driver.
So I want to know is there any other possibilites to resolve the issue. I spent hours in searching answer for it. But all i can find is pressing back, home buttons. I want to type characters like 'k' , 's' using the android keyboard. Any suggestions?
you can use virtual keyboard on simulator.
if you use genymotion emulator, you can choose to set use or not use virtual keyboard.
and if you use send_keys function failed, you can try element.set_text('your text') instead(python client)
in my case, when i run test on a real device, default call out the android keyboard.
maybe you can provide more details, paste your scripts etc.
