Actually I have a disorder in my hands so what I do is do fn and vo with my left hand and shift plus arrows with my right like I'm doing now. I can barely feel my left hand for typing and this is starting to hurt so if you have any questions I'll try and answer them.
Also the quick nab is pretty good for getting some 1 handed things as well for those that need it. and for the number commander you can do the right arrow plus numbers on the number row if you are on a laptop key. I'm sure you can modify some of these to work in safari but I just left them as the defaults. Take care.
