Good one, Chris <smile> I found your old post about Command-Shift-B:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg43708.html <begin quote> Re: iTunes 8.0.1 released with Accessibility Enhancements Chris Blouch Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:01:07 -0700 Just found out about a third way. Friend of a friend works in Apple's accessibility team who said you can just do Command-Shift-B to buy the track which is currently highlighted or Control-Shift-B if you're on Windows. I scoured the internet, the iTunes help and all the pull-down menus and this command is mentioned nowhere. Nice to see that there is a simple key combo to do this but they could have made it more discoverable. Might as well have not implemented it.

Lack of discoverability in many case equals lack of usability and capability. I'm not clear why the buy button itself, while visible, is not announced to at least give a hint. It feels like both VO buy solutions are 'mouse hacks' to simulate what a visual mouse user would do. At least it's possible, if not obvious, how to buy a track. <end quote> One of the other problems with unknown keyboard shortcuts is that they could have been assigned to other functions when you customize your shortcuts. Command-Shift-B also lets you review individual items in your shopping cart and buy them, without having to buy everything in the cart or delete items. I'll file this away. (You guys clearly have more money to spend in the iTunes Store than I do -- I'm just glad that I can practice purchases on the "free" items). I can't seem to use VO-Shift-Space now to purchase -- either with single or double-click. The advantage of the VO-Shift-M is that the same menu choice works with buy or select podcasts for download.
