Hello Dan, No. You can’t change VoiceOver commands, but you can assign any keyboard commander, numpad commander, trackpad commander or Quick Nav shortcut to any VoiceOver command. Cheers, Anne > On 17 Nov 2017, at 14:52, dan d. wrote: > > > Is it possible to remap the vo key commands. >

So to expand on that statement, you could assign the quicknav key "S" or the "keyboard commander "option s" to "read current line". I generally expand the numpad commander functions personally. So perhaps control-numpad-8 might work for this. . On 17 November 2017 at 12:23, Anne Robertson wrote:
