Typing "nav" will filter to the headings that contain those characters. For example, with the Headers rotor open, pressing "2" will filter to second level headings. Within the rotor, you can begin typing to filter the available elements. Similar in organization to an app’s menu bar menus on a Mac, the shortcut interface on iPad displays app commands in familiar system-defined menu categories such as File, Edit, and View. Once a page element type is selected, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow to select a particular element and Enter to activate it. In iPadOS 15 and later, an app’s keyboard shortcuts appear in the shortcut interface that displays when people hold the Command key. Open the rotor by pressing VO + U, then use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to choose between element types (availability varies depending on the content of the web page, and whether the element type is enabled for viewing in the rotor), such as Links, Headings, Tables, Frames, Images, Auto Web Spots (automatically generated list of structural and significant items on the page), Web Spots (user-identified page areas), Form Controls, Landmarks, Visited Links, and Non-Visited Links. You can choose which element types are viewable in the rotor by opening the VoiceOver Utility with VO + F8, then going to Web > Web Rotor. The VoiceOver "rotor" feature helps users to do some frequently performed navigation actions quickly and easily. Though powering off or restarting a computer is a process that takes a couple of clicks, but you can speed that up too using keyboard shortcuts.
