I think that's dependent on the display. Remember, not all displays have
typing keys on them like a braille keyboard.

If you have a braille display, you can use space with M to mute voiceover.

You can also use the keyboard commander. For example, I have it set so
option-m mutes sounds and speech. To do this:
* Open the VoiceOver Utility and choose Commanders from the Categories
table.
* Select the Keyboard Commander tab, be sure the commander is on by
checking the checkbox, and move past the table to the Add button. Activate that
button.
* You will be placed on a text field, even if VoiceOver doesn't tell you
so. Press the key to be used (such as M), then vo-right to the menu button.
* In that menu is a list of commands, sorted into categories. I believe the
item you want, Mute VoiceOver, is in the Sounds submenu. Once you find it, hit
enter.
* Hit option-m to make sure things worked (it's a toggle, so hitting it
again will bring VO back). If it worked, you can close the Utility. If not, let
the list know and we'll try to figure out what happened.

Hi Pam. If I remember correctly, with track pad commander on, you could
double tap with three fingers on the trackpad to mute Voiceover just like
double tapping with three fingers to mute it on an iPhone. If I'm wrong about
this, someone correct me.

Subject: Keystroke form muting voiceover
Hi everyone,
I was attempting to listen to a service over the Internet this afternoon.
In so doing Alex continually seemed to want to give me every notification I
would never have gotten had I been doing something I could've gotten away from
or been able to repeat. Normally I don't mind. However in cases like this, is
there a keystroke to mute voiceover until such a service or meeting is over? I
hit the control key to shut him up, however he has since earned the name
disrespectful Alex.
