Any way to navigate in Safari by heading level with voice-over

By Ipadman, 21 February, 2019

I regularly use the Google website and navigate by heading, but just yesterday something strange happened.
Voice-over Started giving me lots of new information, like “search results“ and “ web results”
I determined, though I might be wrong, that this was because voice-over was now reading all heading levels where as previously it had only been reading out level three headings when I navigated.
I’m not sure what I’ve done to change it, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to change it back so that it only reads level three headings again.

Heading levels

The change you experienced is actually to do with the Google site, not anything you did to VoiceOver. To answer your question, on a keyboard or braille display, you can do it just like on a computer. Turn on quicknav with a Q-chord or pressing left and right arrows together, than type the number 1 through 6 to go forward and add a shift to go backward. On the touch screen there is no way to navigate by specific heading levels that I'm aware of.

Braille screen input

You can navigate by heading level using braille screen input. Enter a number from 1 through 6, making sure to include the dots 3-4-5-6 prefix, then swipe up or down on the touch screen to navigate by the level you chose. This technique works for other types of navigation, such as entering an L and swiping to navigate by links.
