[gui-talk] Double-space with iPhone and VoiceOver?

First off, it depends on the typing mode.  As far as I know, it can't be 
done with touch typing, which is unfortunate because I used to use it all 
the time until I switched to touch typing.

Assuming you are using standard typing, you want to do what I call a double 
split tap.

1. Place one finger on the space bar.

2. Using a second finger, double tap anywhere else on the screen while 
continuing to hold the first finger on the space bar.

It's also important to make sure this feature is turned on in the settings, 
under keyboard I believe.  Incidentally, you can turn caps lock on by 
performing a double split tap with one finger on the shift key, but again 
this is something you have to make sure is enabled in settings.
