Selecting mail and message contacts with Voiceover and Keyboard

Hi alll,

I'm new to using the keyboard controls with a bluetooth keybaord, so apologies if this is obvious.

In the Messages and Mail apps, I can navigate to the "To:" entry fields and type easily. However, it seems hard to select one of the autocomplete options without touching the screen. Is it necessary to touch the screen to select a contact after typing part of their name, or can I somehow navigate to that pane with the keyboard? The keyboard command I would expect to navigate through the contacts (VO right, for example) kind of seem to skip over it.

Thanks!
