    Description

      When VoiceOver is enabled, it will read out what is selected on the screen, and how to interact with it. It also shows this as text in a window. See attached screenshot. The focussed/selected item in that screenshot is of a button with a menu.

      This issue is:

      • pressing the mentioned Control-Option-Space does nothing
      • pressing space will select it, but this is not obvious.

      This problem shows up in a number of places: when using the tab-key to focus on a list view, the mentioned/hinted key combinations to interact with the list do nothing, but arrow navigation works (but is never mentioned).

      To reproduce: run any example application with VoiceOver turned on, and use the tab/arrow keys to navigate. Then try to use the spoken/shown key combinations to interact with the focussed widget.
