when you use the link chooser, you need to use vo keys with arrows to move 
through the list and then vo keys with space.

Honestly, I do try it and it works, but not reliably. I hope that with
snowleopard some of this will get touched up. Another area I think
could use some work is the links chooser, assuming that it's not just
yours truly being inept, it rarely selects a link and moves to the new
page. I will go vo-u then find the link, press enter on it and it will
return to the page I visited and won't even flag the link as "visited"

I've settled for just using arrow keys, so if anyone has suggestions,
greatly appreciated. I have also set my resolution to 1024*768
stretched for the benefit of a sited user that shares with me. I
wonder does resolution effect vo the same way it effects windows
screen readers?
