control+option+shift+w reads the entire window
control+shift+a reads contents of current control
Neither of these really "do the right thing" in my opinion.
Create a simple text document in textEdit. Then, move to the end of the
text
with command+downArrow. Now, press control+option+a - the entire text is
read. My feeling is that it should read from the cursor position to the end
of the current control.
Using the same text created above, move to the end and press
control+option+shift+w - this reads the entire window including all
toolbars
and other on-screen controls, and the text. Definately not the right thing
in my opinion.
Things are even worse in Safari. You can't read the contents of the
document
in any reasonable way. I haven't tested this thuroughly yet, but I believe
control+option+a will only read the element with VoiceOver focus. So, it
will only read the text of the current paragraph for instance. Gets very
tedious to read a document this way.
I'm pretty much a VoiceOver novice, so if there are other commands for
doing
this that work better, please set me straight.
Thanx.

For those that originate inappropriate subject lines,
control-option-shift-w reads the entire window's contents. Since the
window is not always the whole screen this is the closest Tiger has come
to the jaws for windows say all command.
