Andrew,
Brad had clued me into this contextual feature. I did some exploring
and like what I saw. This may even make using a braille display more
practical. One thing I may play with are Window Spots.

Hey ET,
My experience of the rotor on MacOS is that it’s contextual. So if I'm in
calendar.app, e.g., and I hit VO-U, I get window spots and a “content chooser”
that gives me a list of all the day’s items (which, incidentally, I find much
easier to navigate than using normal VO nav).
In mail.app, composing this message now, I get window spots and a “static text” menu
that shows a menu of every line (or paragraph?) in this text box. I have “static
text” selected in the “web” section of VO Utility; I just experimentally turned it
off and lo — VO-U doesn’t give me a static text option anymore! All of which suggests
that the options in VO-Utility > Web > Web Rotor apply beyond the web, across
your system!
Warmly,
Andrew

Just to be clear, I don't believe I am looking at the web rotor. When I
press VO plus U, I see two items, Window Spots and Widgets. Neither are in the
web rotor table.

Yes, you can customise rotor and which elements appear in it via Voiceover
utility under web and then web rotor.

Hello,
This is not about the web rotor. On the mac, is it possible to add or
remove items? Thanks.
