Hi Tim. Well, I've gotten further with this but still not achieved success. when I do the vo-shift-fn-cmd-f5, voiceover turns on or off. I've tried this using the vo-semi colon lock and by cramming all my small fingers on all those keys and still no success. But, going boldy forward because I can't get that part to work, I do get to turn cursor tracking on and off but if I arrow down, I'm not in my list and i suspect that is because I can't get the cursors aligned with the first big key press I need, vo-fn-shift-cmd-f5. I'm not giving up, but if you have any ideas, oh boy my psyche can surely use them, LOL!

Navigate to the first item. If VO cursors are not following each other, then use VO-cmd-f5 (add FN on a laptop) to bring focus to where VO is. 2. Now turn off cursor tracking by pressing VO-shift-f3 (add the FN on a laptop). 3. Navigate to the next item you wish to select. 4. Press VO-cmd-space. 5. Repeat #3 and #4 until you have all items selected. 6. Press cmd-c to copy or begin dragging or do whatever you wish to do. 7. Turn cursor tracking back on using VO-shift-f3 (add FN on a laptop). don't forget to do #7 as it will frustrate you to no end when cursor tracking is off and you're trying to do things you're used to doing. HTH. Later...
