The bits are larger than one phrase or bit. Unles there's a command to add
to clipboard instead of replacing it?

Hi,
If all your doing is copying bits and pieces like that, why not do VO shift
C which is copy last phrase to clipboard.

Looks like this makes the Mac almost a no go for my work. I spend a lot
of time grabbing addresses and other contact info online and copying it into
documents.
I am in DOM mode. If I interact with the text the VO Enter works, but all
it will copy is the current element, word, link, etc. If I try to press VO
Enter anywhere else I get a beep and nothing.
Copying the entire page and editing would be about 5 times more work than
I can accomplish the same tasks with Windows. There really should be a way
to grab a few lines, elements, etc. from a web page and copy just them.
I actually thought that's what VO enter was for, but apparently it won't
help me at all.
Maybe there is something else I am missing?

Hello Bill,
This all seems to depend on the website. Selecting would appear to work
better in DOM mode than in Groups.
If Shift-Cmd-Right arrow doesn't highlight a chunk of text for you,
remember that VO-Shift-c will copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard.
Also, you may find you need to interact with the text to be able to
highlight it.
Failing that, Cmd-a will highlight the whole page, which you can then copy
into a TextEdit document and edit from there.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi.
As I understand it, there are a few ways to select text in Safari. To get
a letter, word or line you hold down the shift key and then press arrow for
character, option arrow for word and command arrow for the rest of the line.
To select a larger selection, you press VO enter and then move to the end
of your selection and press VO Enter again.
My problem is, neither of these seem to be working. I have cursor
tracking turned on and I have tried both with quick Nav turned on and off.
I'm sure the problem is between my chair and keyboard, but not sure what to
do different. Any suggestions appreciated.
Bill
