Hi, To move from your current position in a mail message or document to the beginning of the document, use Command+Up Arrow. To move to the end of the message or document, use Command+Down Arrow. If you want to select from your current position to the beginning or end of the document, just add a press of the Shift key to turn these movement shortcuts into selection shortcuts:
Command+Up Arrow moves to the beginning a document Shift+Command+Up Arrow selects to the beginning of a document Command+Down Arrow moves to the end of a document Shift+Command+Down Arrow selects to the end of a document To select all, use Command+A These keyboard shortcuts are just a few of the ways you can move and select in messages and documents on the Mac, and you can read more in the archived list post on "Moving and Selecting in Cocoa Apps": http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg02038.html By the way, quite a lot of that post also applies to using mail an text on your iPhone with an Apple Wireless Keyboard, although you don't have all those shortcuts available to you. You can also bring up a new mail window which contains your selected text by using the "Services" menu option: In whatever app you're in (e.g., TextEdit or Mail), navigate to the Application menu bar (with either VO-M or Control+F2), right Arrow (or flick right if using Trackpad Commander) to the Application menu, then arrow down to the options menu. You can either move down to "Services" or just press "s" to go there once you are in the menu. Right arrow to the Services submenu, and then again either arrow down to "New Email with Selection" or just press "n" to go there. I press the "Return" key to choose this option, which will create a new email window with your selected text in the message body. If you use this Services Menu option a lot, you can assign it a custom keyboard shortcut. It's also possible to navigate the menus with TrackPad Commander gestures, where you run your finger down the menus and double tap the Trackpad to select options, and it's also possible to navigate these menus with QuickNav and the arrow keys. Just make sure that you have text selected before you access the "Services" menu, or you won't see options. Those options operate on selected text and/or images, so they won't appear if nothing has been selected. HTH.
