Certainly what Kimber describes is an option, also just trying a quick swipe to the left or right might put focus on the answer button. However, as Christopher stated, the 2-finger double tap is pretty much 100% accurate for me, the 1 or 2% when it isn't repeating it usually does the trick.

This is more reliable for me than the two finger double tap. Kim On 11/7/17, John R. Vaughn <jrvaugh...@comcast.net> wrote: > List, this is a very basic question.
