Yeah, the mouse keys are far more reliable in these
situations. VO+Shift+M works for a lot of stuff, but not nearly
all. I do hope that mouse keys are made to work more fluidly with VO
in future. For now, we are indeed stuck with Control+Click using
mouse keys, though I expect that is highly inconvenient for laptop
users. I plan on getting a MacBook in the near future, so would be
interested to hear if anyone has discovered any other sollutions for this.

Anyway, so-called right clicking (there is really no such thing in OS
X, the term stems from broken Windows thinking) is actually invoking
the contextual menu.
The VO equivalent is Control-Option-Shift-M.
Except that the vo equivalent isn't vo-shift-m regardless of what
folks continue to say on this list.
If I want to get the contextual menu while in safari, I can control
click the mouse on a link which will give me a series of options,
including open in new window, or download linked file. This menu
does not appear when using a vo-shift-M key combination. Therefore,
it is not the same thing.
Perhaps this works in *some* apps, but it is not a universal thing,
and therefore is *not* a substitute for holding down the control key
while physically clicking the mouse.
Now, if someone does know a key combination that performs this
action, I'd sure like to know what it is, because many many times
I've needed such a thing, and couldn't find anyway to perform such an
action.
