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.

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?
