Hi Danielle, I'll paste in the answer I wrote on the mac-access list last November. Now that the viphone list has started archiving its posts at the Mail Archive web pages, future searches for answers to similar questions should be much easier by going to the Viphone public archive web site, listed in the second line at the end of each post. This is basically the umbrella Mail Archive web page: http://www.mail-archive.com/ with the posting address for the mailing list appended in each case. In this case, all I had to do was go to the web page for the mac-access list, and type into the search text box: "from:Esther notifications" (without the quotation marks). When I pressed return, the following result popped up. You won't be able to run such searches for the viphone list yet, since the only viphone list posts archived there over past three years are the ones that I cc'ed to the macvisionaries list, but I guarantee this will make finding previously posted information easier in the future.
I'll add that there is no keyboard shortcut for the double tap and hold pass through gesture. The way that I think of the reason for this, is that the pass through gesture indicates that you want to bypass the VoiceOver specific gestures and use the "standard" gestures instead. However, keyboard navigation features are only supported when VoiceOver is turned on. No sighted user who employs "standard touch screen gestures" and uses a paired Bluetooth keyboard can execute any commands except for text editing functions. So until Bluetooth keyboard navigation commands are supported for sighted users outside of VoiceOver, no keyboard equivalent shortcut to "bypass VoiceOver gestures" is going to work. Open the notification center with VO-M and then Option-Up arrow. The full archived post from the Mac-access list Mail Archive pages, which includes links to sources of keyboard shortcut information, is pasted in below by signature. HTH.

Date: November 12, 2011 To: Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility <mac-acc...@mac-access.net> Hi Eric, To open the notification center with your Bluetooth keyboard, after moving to the status bar with VO-M use Option+Up arrow, which is the keyboard shortcut equivalent to the 3 finger flick down to scroll the page. To move to the button to dismiss notification center use Control+Down arrow. This is one of the cases where the format of the (older shortcuts) on hllf's blog site may make it easier to look up shortcuts. He uses the nice table format that gives action, keystrokes with QuickNav off, keystrokes with QuickNav on, and equivalent gesture. Daniel's AxS lab pages of shortcuts are up to date and very nice, but you have to associate terms to find the shortcut. hllf's VoiceOver Keyboard Commands for iOS 4.1 and Later: http://www.hllf.net/70 AxS Lab iOS VoiceOver Gesture, Keyboard & Braille Shortcuts: http://axslab.com/ios-shortcuts HTH.
