Using Toolbox App with OSX VoiceOver (Catalina)
I'm struggling to control the toolbox app using OSX VoiceOver screen reader. (Bearing in mind I am only just starting out with VO).
So I have Toolbox running and press VO+M+M, navigate to toolbox and choose VO+Space. The app appears, but I can't figure out any way to interact with it?
I would have thought that VoiceOver-aside, the cursor up/down keys would be usable to select an app, but that doesn't work. I've also tried the usual VO+left/right/up/down or VO+shift+up/down but can't seem to get anything to happen.
Am I missing something?

I thought I'd just try to visually start PyCharm and then use it with VoiceOver to see what happens. I turned on screen reader support and restarted, but so far it seems a bit baffling. Creating a new scratch file, none of the languages are read out. I started typing: "argv" and half way through a dialog pops up with no information about what it is (some sort of list that I don't remember appearing before I used a screen reader). I had to then keep pressing ESC to get rid of it. I then tried Cmd+Enter on the 'argv' to get the import added in, but I couldn't get it to read the list either.
I found something in the Rider docs suggesting that you only properly support Jaws/Windows for screen readers. Does this mean I am wasting my time trying to do this? Are there any plans to fully support VoiceOver?
Or if it is possible to use it, are there any resources I can use to help me get started?
