If you set HotSpot 5 with VO+shift+5 then you can do the following: VO+5 move to hotspot 5 VO+command+5 Read the contents of HotSpot 5 VO+command+shift+5 toggle monitoring of hotspot 5

This is because if an item is added or removed from the list I find that the hotspot pointing to an item in that list is no longer able to be found.
