I posted this on the Cell Phone Talk board but figured I would post it here in case anyone can help.
Hi, all.
I was able to find a phone running Android that is not too antiquated with a slide out keyboard. My question is if I were to use the TalkBack shortcuts via the keyboard, could I bypass the touch screen completely? Does Talkback keyboard shortcuts work for all the gestures? I was only able to find a very short list, but there has to be more. If anyone can point me to a site that has all of them listed that would be much appreciated and helpful.
Thanks!

Looks like I found them. Says it will only work with an external keyboard. I wonder why? I guess I will try it with my phones internal one. Link is here:
