Hi, Alex. I haven't looked at quick nav yet. I'll take a look at that
tomorrow and see if this helps.

Unfortunately, Safari navigation is different. You have to interact with the
text you want to review, which is made frustrating if, say there is a link
in the middle of a long article. Once you interact, you can move by
character with vo-shift-left/right, or word with vo-left/right. You can also
enable quicknav and use the rotor to read by line or other chunks of text.

Hi, Alex. I thought doing VO shift page up and page down reads either the
previous or next paragraph. I tried doing this command in Safari when I
was reading an article, and nothing happened. Should I just do option down
or up arrow to read paragraphs instead? By the way, thanks for your
description on how the cursor behaves with Voiceover on the Mac. This
makes more sense now. I used to use outSPOKEN last time I was on a Mac
with OS 9 and the cursor navigation works the same way.

Yes. Cmd-left/right moves to the start or end of the line, up/down to the
top or bottom of the edit field. Option-left/right moves by word, up/down
by paragraph. Add shift to select by the movement instead of just moving
by it.

Hello,
Thanks to you both, I'll play with it again next time I boot the mini.
Also are there commands for moving to the beginning and end of a line?
Including the highlighting of that line? To the top and to the bottom?
Thanks.

Also, it is important to disabe quicknav when editing. As to cursor
tracking, just leave the vo defaults for cursors following each other
and you should be fine.

Hi,
I think this might be a case of you not being use to how the cursor
acts on the Mac. On the Mac, the cursor position depends on the
direction your navigating in. If navigating to the right, the cursor
is located to the right of the last character or word spoken by
Voiceover. If moving to the left, the cursor is located to the left of
the last character or word spoken.

Hello All,
I'm struggling to have fluent cursor tracking. Whether it's the mail
app, pages or safari's search field. It seems VO is not reporting the
cursor position correctly. As there are several ways of using VO i.e.
VO cursor locked to cursor, locked to mouse etc. How do I get the best
cursor tracking when editing text?
Thanks.
