I would assume that after it is paired the regular keyboard commands would
apply. The following link is a great reference chart that includes the
Voice Over gestures with equivalent blue tooth keyboard and braille
keyboard commands. I found it extremely helpful with my Amazon BT keyboard.

Introduction
This quick reference defines gestures, keyboard commands, and refreshable
braille
commands for voiceover on iOS. The information in this document is current
as of
iOS version 6.01. In an attempt to create a comprehensive list, we have
collected
material from the iOS users guide and many other sources on the web.
The primary audience of this document is students with visual impairments,
teachers
of the visually impaired, and other education professionals that serve
students
with visual impairments. However, we hope the document will be useful to all
interested parties.

Using Voiceover with a bluetooth keyboard
An iOS device becomes much more useful for reading, writing, and research
when you
pair it with a bluetooth keyboard. If you buy a bluetooth keyboard for your
iOS
device, make sure the keyboard has arrow keys so you can use the "quick nav"
feature with Voiceover. We recommend the Apple wireless keyboard .
The quick nav voiceover feature allows you to navigate very quickly using
the arrow
keys on a bluetooth keyboard. The user interaction is somewhat similar to
the JAWS
virtual PC cursor, i.e. you can quickly navigate HTML content by specific
types of
HTML elements such as headings, links, etc. The quick nav feature is also
tightly
integrated with the rotor feature and they complement each other very
nicely. You
will find more information about the quick nav and rotor features throughout
this
document.
Press the left arrow and right arrow on your bluetooth keyboard to toggle
quick nav
on and off.
Notes:
1.Many voiceover keyboard commands require that the control key and the
option key
are pressed at the same time. This document uses the common shorthand "VO"
to
denote that the control and option keys should be pressed at the same time.
2.Apple keyboards are different than Windows keyboards. Apple keyboards
contain an
option key and a cmd key. Apple keyboards do not contain the alt key or the
Windows
key. However, if you are using a Windows keyboard you can substitute the alt
key
for the option key and the Windows key for the cmd key.
Using Voiceover with a refreshable braille display
There are many refreshable braille displays that are supported by Voiceover
on iOS
devices . The refreshable braille commands in this guide were tested using
the
Rfreshabraille 18 from American Printing House for the Blind . Note that the
Refreshabraille 18 has a joystick that works very well with Voiceover
including the
rotor feature.
Basic commands
The commands defined in this section are universal. They can be used in
almost any
context including the home screen, the app switcher, the status bar, Mail,
Safari,
Pages, etc.
