Right,
I think Apple decided to go to do things the way they did because they didn't
want voiceover hijacking your keyboard like screenreaders on windows do. So,
they made the modifier 2 keys instead of one.

Hello newbies. Yes this is an awesome list, I've learned a heck of a lot of

Hello all.
I want to tell you about a fantastic app for the mac called iKeyboard.
For £6.99 in the UK Mac App store, you can turn your mac into a
bluetooth keyboard for your iOS device. You can even control your iOS
device using this app, and not just type text like the paid Type2Phone
app.
I agree. However, if you think that choosing the modifier to use with vo is a
good idea, please email accessibil...@apple.com and tell them so. They won't
change anything if the interest isn't there, and using this amazing resource to
