Hi Petrus,
Yes, I brought this up earlier.
For me it works sometimes. If not working what happens is I press it
and Voice over just keeps talking. I have to restart Voice over and then the
Control key will work correctly. Unfortunately it doesn’t last all that long
and I’m back to turning voice over off and on again.
It is nice when it works.
Best of luck.
