Hi Donna,
You can disagree all you want, but the VO key is not necessary to change the behavior of the arrow keys when using the Fn key.

Sorry, Brad, but I have to disagree.  When I just press the FN key nothing happens.  When I press the VO modifier, the keys behave as you describe.
Cheers,
Donna

Changing the behavior of the arrow keys is not a function of VoiceOver, therefore it is not necessary to use the VO modifier in order to use the alternate actions of the arrow keys as described in my original response.
You can test this by turning on Keyboard Help, then press the different arrow keys while holding down only the Fn key.
Whether or not the VO modifier is used along with the Fn key makes no matter.  The actions of the arrow keys will be the same.

Just one addition to this, for me to use these commands, I also have to hold down the VO keys.  So, VO-FN-right arrow for home, etc.
Cheers,
Donna

If you hold down the Fn key, the arrow keys become the following:
Left Arrow becomes the Home key.
Right Arrow becomes the End key.
Up Arrow becomes the Page Up key.
Down Arrow becomes the Page Down key.

HTH.

Sometimes, I don’t have my full extended keyboard and have to type on just my MacBook Pro keyboard.  But I don’t have Page Up/Down or Home and End keys.  How does one compensate for this?

Thanks,
Kevin
