Marlaina,
Try using VO-shift-f3 with your FN key. The FN should be in the bottom left
corner of your keyboard. I tried it with my MBP and noticed that VO-shift-f3

Marlaina,
1. Do you have cursors following each other in your VO Prefs? I find that
things work much easier for me when things are set in this fashion.
