The “VO” reference refers to VoiceOver feature on the device which is accomplished through the keystroke combination of Control + Option. For example, if the required keystroke is “VO plus Down Arrow”, you perform this keystroke by holding down Control + Option, then pressing the Down Arrow simultaneously. In the list of keystrokes that follow, we have use the "+" key or symbol as the connector when two keys are to be pressed such as the Command key followed by another key. The use of the "*" indicates the two keys are to be pressed simultaneously. For gexample, “Left Arrow * Right Arrow” indicates these two keys are to be pressed at the exact same time. If some of the keys with multiple modifiers do not seem to work with your Bluetooth keyboard, try using the other modifier. For example, the Apple Bluetooth keyboard has Control, Command, and Option keys to the left of the spacebar, but it also has an Option key to the right of the spacebar. If holding down all three modifiers, such as to increase the VoiceOver volume (VO + Command + Up Arrow), you mayhave to use the right Option key; if you use the left Option key, the command will likely not work. This is no doubt a limitation of the Apple keyboard and not iOS 4.1. Most of the text navigation commands that make use of the Command key can also be performed by substituting the Control key. iOS has a feature called quick nav, which when enabled, allows for easier navigation between elements using the keyboard. To enable/disable quick nav, press the Left Arrow * Right Arrow. Remember, the "*" indicates these two keys are pressed Some commandscan only be performed with quick nav is either enabled or disabled.

I realize every keyboard is different, but I am looking for some standard keystrokes that work with all Bluetooth keyboards. Thank you.
