How to use VoiceOver to test the a11y of a combobox element

I am not sure if this is the way as it should work. I found no information about it. I tested it on a combobox example from w3org and that is how it worked.

  • Ctrl+Option+Right arrow to move to the combobox.
  • Ctrl+Option+Space to open the options list (VoiceOver should announce that the list is expanded).
  • Down arrow to move into the option list (VoiceOver should announce the first list element).
  • Enter to select an item (VoiceOver should announce that the element is selected and the list is collapsed).
  • Ctrl+Option+Right arrow to move to the next form item

I do not know (yet) how the search option of the combobox should be used correctly.

It all started with a call for entries I found on the "In The Mix" YouTube channel. There was a choice between two songs by Kennedy Wilde. I liked "Crash," so I decided to give it a go.
