Hi Maria, Hopefully, when you turned TrackPad Commander off, you didn't move position when you use the rotor gesture. If you use Mouse Keys to click, there's an option you can check to ignore built-in trackpad when mouse keys are being used. Also, presumably you can also check position on the elements with keyboard and navigation shortcuts, and route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor with VO+Command+F5. Finally, there are shortcuts like VO+F5 to describe what is under the mouse that you could set up custom gestures for.
HTH.
