Hi Eric, I think the point people who heavily use Bluetooth keyboards or braille displays is that they want to do as much as possible without having to take the hands off the braille display or keyboard to touch the screen. In a way I get this, but one must also remember that these are touch screen devices which are primarily meant to be used with touch.

You can write the first letter and all apps starting with that letter will show in a list. Not a Braille solution… Eric ________________________________ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Lange Sent: Friday, June 03, 2016 8:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: The Top 10 Things I'd like in iOS 10 Hi Jonathan, Great blog post! As an avid user of Braille with IOS, I certainly agree with your points regarding Braille support. I'd love to have some sort of pronunciation dictionary. And amen to the idea of full access to the file system on any IOS device; although I certainly applaud Apple's efforts to keep its OS secure, I truly despise having to use iTunes to move stuff to and from my iPhone and would absolutely rejoice if iTunes died a horrible and painful DEATH! Now, having said all that, I'd like to float a crazy idea to extend keyboard support. Keep the derisive laughter, groans and flames to a minimum, please. Like I said, this one may well be considered off the wall. Here goes. Sighted people have the ability to glance at a screen full of icons, zero in on the one they want and simply tap it. So, if VO is running and an external keyboard is in use, why not enable first letter navigation on any home screen or within a folder much like one has that capability on a PC? Ditto for long lists of titles or artists in Apple Music, where, incidentally, I can't find a table index. Further, if VO is running and an external keyboard is in use, I'd like to see support for quick navigation keys in Safari or any place where I'm viewing HTML content. Let me type h for heading, t for table, e for edit box and so on and so on. While the rotor is certainly handy, having to use it to first select an element type (link, heading, form element, et cetera), then use the rotor to find the desired element is cumbersome. Does that functionality exist with the current implementation of Quick Nav? If so, great. Like someone else mentioned, I'd also like to see a way to search for text in lengthy articles or documents.
