Hi Mark, Under Leopard, VO-Command-V will take you to the next visited hyperlink and VO-Command-Shift-V to the previous visited hyperlink. I assume that Snow Leopard supports this and other features.
More generally, to review the different web page navigation features in VoiceOver, bring up the VoiceOver menu (VO-F7), navigate to the Search menu (with arrow keys or by pressing "S"), and then right arrow to read the search menu options. You can also use the shortcut VO- Shift-F to directly bring up this menu. As a late-comer to the Leopard upgrade from Tiger, I spent some time reading through the improved navigation features listed here, especially the commands for header navigation like VO-Command-H to navigate to the next header and VO-Command-M to navigate to the next header at the same level (and the counterpart commands with the shift key added to navigate to the previous instance). Spending some time with that search menu list (VO- Shift-F) will be very helpful in speeding up your web page navigation. Also, for new list members, there's a configuration option under Safari you can check to give you more navigation options. Bring up your preferences menu (Command-comma), Interact with the Toolbar (VO- Shift-Down Arrow) and navigate to the Advanced menu button (with VO- Right arrow). Press the button (VO-Space) and VO-Right arrow to the Advanced menu pane. There's a Universal access option checkbox for "Press tab to highlight each item on a web page". If it is unchecked, pressing tab just takes you to the next text box or button, while pressing option-tab highlights each element and takes you to the next link, text box, button, etc. You can switch this behavior by checking the box with VO-Space. Then Option-Tab will only navigate to the next text box or button (and skip all links), while tab takes you to the next element. This is especially useful for Tiger users who don't have access to the added web navigation features of Leopard and is easy to overlook, since its not a VoiceOver utility setting, but one found in the Safari preferences. When you're finished with the preferences menu, close the window with Command-W. Not sure how long these instructions will be valid with Snow Leopard, but they help for Leopard.
