Meet the rotor. A menu that you activate (and change options) by rotating two fingers on the screen. It lets you select different navigation modes and customizations. Like navigating through headings or changing VoiceOver’s speaking rate.
Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

Once you learn some basic gestures with VoiceOver, it is very important to master he Rotor. It is very useful to also know some more power user gestures like the Magic Tap or the Escape gesture.
When creating AXCustomContent objects for accessibilityCustomContent, you can specify the importance of the data. If it is high, it will always be presented by VoiceOver. You could potentially ask the user if that data is of importance to them.
accessibilityActivate() lets you capture a VoiceOver double tap. This is useful if you are creating a custom component you interact with using complex gestures or VoiceOver navigation gestures. An example: slide to unlock. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityactivate()
