For my own clarity, I saw a suggestion of VO-command and then use arrows like you describe; or is that peculiar to iOs and using BT keyboard?

Use left/right arrows to move through the items, and up or down to select your preference. Enter will close the window. Remember that these settings are not temporary or specific to the current app, they persist across the entire OS. VO-v is not a local settings change, it is a shortcut to common, global options. As to Safari, I wrote a guide for AppleVis about using Safari and VoiceOver.
