Very easy Gordon and extremely useful when switching between elements in Safari (such as Headings, lists, tables etc). The gesture also works on the Mac track pad. Place your thumb at 9 o'clock and your index finger at 3 o'clock, then rotate both fingers so you are pointing one at 12 and the other at 6. Very much like turning a volume dial on a amplifier. Give it a go, and if you like it then go into the VO settings and add more items to your rotor, I could not live without this convenience, even on the Mac when testing websites.
