You can just use the arrow keys to move by caracter. To move by word, hold the option key while using the left and right arrow keys. Note that voiceover reads things here a bit differently than how windows screen readers read. When you press right arrow, then press left, you will hear the same character, this is because your cursor is actually in between characters and so voiceover is reading the character the cursor is passing over. The windows screen readers read the character to the right of the cursor, which in some ways really isn't accurate. On Aug 18, 2011, at 12:58 AM, David Griffith wrote:
