Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
Hi Alex, it's VO + F2 tweice. You can find all VO shortcuts by pressing VO + h twice. There you find all VO commands and - as long as available - the determined shortcut. You can find more shortcuts independent from VoiceOver in the system preferences under the keyboard tab.

Apparently, with vo on, double tapping the bottom right of the trackpad will do this, for things like open skype chats or network sign-in prompts. I've never heard of this, and I wonder if anyone knows what the command is, if one exists? Thanks.

Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
I'll pass it on, but I thought that command was to list open windows? I don't know, I probably misunderstood the tweet and this is what he is after. Thanks.

Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
Hello Alex, Would the command you're looking for be Bring Window to Front (VO-Shift-F2)?

Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
It might be. I have never worked out what that command does as it seems to do nothing the few times I've tried it.

Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
I remember there being something about this in the Mountain Lion Voiceover Getting Started.

Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
It has to be one of these two from what Alex described: 1. vo-f2 twice and then hit return on desired window: that is the window chooser and I do use that when I know my window should have changed but my keyboard focus isn't there or when I think there may be a window I'm not finding or a diialog I'm not finding though Application Chooser also can be used for finding dialogs. 2. vo-shift-f2 which brings the window containing the voiceover cursor to the front, making it the active window. I believe what the person who tweeted wants is actually vo-f2 because with trackpad commander, a double-tap on the right side of the trackpad opens the window chooser.

Re: keyboard command to focus active windows?
True, but there are sometimes windows that do not show up with cmd-accent. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Pressing command with the key above tab (on U.S. keyboards anyway) cycles through windows in the current application much like cmd-tab cycles through all applications. You said you switch windows with vo-f2 twice, so I wanted to be sure you knew about this (often easier) way of doing just that.
