One thing I would like to figure out is how to do the screen region grab Apple-shift-4. It has two modes. The first is where you would drag a box with a mouse and it would do a screen grab on just what's inside the box. The second more useful mode is to hit space once which toggles to window grab mode which automatically selects everything in the window which has focus. So I do an apple-shift-4, then space to go into window grab mode and then apple-tab to, say, my Safari window. But to do the actual grab I have to mouse click and VO-shift-space does nothing. This would be really nice to attach a picture of just the window of interest rather than my entire cluttered desktop.
