Command-Option-F sunk in from the days before there was a VoiceOver manual, and when working in Apps where fields and buttons weren't labelled. I still use it a lot in iTunes because, whereever I am, especially if I'm use VO-keys plus arrow keys instead of tabbing, I know that I can quickly get to the search text field and orient myself. New users will probably find it easier to remember Command-L and VO right arrow, though. Cheers, Esther
