Mark, Sometimes I find that if I use VO-L to read the line just after doing a scenario like you describe that there is more likelyhood that I will actually be at the link. The trouble with cursor tracking on is that sometimes the wrong cursor takes precedence. So, when the keyboard focus moves back from item chooser mode, it appears that the VO cursor and the moves back to the keyboard focus. I believe that using the VO- L command might route around this behavior. I have often switched off tracking mode, but there are some issues there First, the dock is almost completely unusable. Secondly, sometimes the VO cursor gets stuck in nowhere land. This I believe there is one other place where turning off cursor tracking just doesn't work. I'll have to keep my fingers aware for that.
In terms of the item chooser mode not accepting keyboard input as selection items, I understand that would be a little different from what one would expect, but one can not even turn off the lock when in the item chooser. Also when lock mode is on and you type VO-F to use the find function, then the alphanumeric keys work as alphanumerics, and not VO keys so it would be possible for Apple to temporarily turn off VO lock in item chooser and link chooser. Best regardes, Jon .
