I'm wondering if anyone knows of, or has discovered, a keyboard equivalent
for the Item Chooser using a bluetooth keyboard. I use the verbatim
keyboard so it might even differ slightly from a keystroke on the Apple
bluetooth keyboard, for example. Thanks.

Subject: Re: Item Chooser, most underrated feature
Once you do the two finger triple tap and narrow your search, double tap
what you want in the results list. This will then bring VoiceOver focus
right to where you want it. Say for example, you are looking for the word
Seattle in an article, you would bring up the item chooser, begin typing
Seattle in the search field, and the below list will continually narrow down
to the possibilities of Seattle. Double tap on one, and there you go,
magically just where you want to be in the article.
Hope that is helpful. Definitely have a play around with it. With more
practice, you'll probably get use to it's features.
