Yes, they are. But in my opinion and regarding what I've noticed while working in the Mac OS X terminal, there are bigger problems then the keyboard commands. One big issue is, that VoiceOver is not focusing the cursor possition all the times correctly. Try opening a file with vi and navigate in the file with arrow up and down to get spoken the current line. You will see, that VoiceOver sometimes reads the wrong line, sometimes the line above or below. Then try to use a program like mutt, my favorite mail programm :-). There you also notice the focusing problems but also that VoiceOver is not able to track a softcursor, which is used in many of textbased tools. Maybe the problems described above can be solved by changing some settings for VoiceOver or for the terminal, but I've not found out what needs to be changed :-(. But those both problems are the major show stoppers for a good terminal support in Mac OS in my opinion :-(.
