Hmm. So I created a new Writer document and typed four sets of sentences (paragraphs) with a blank line inbetween. I then cursored up and left until I was at the beginning of the first sentence. I then did a shift down arrow a bunch of times and was able to select (and copy) all four paragraphs. The use of shift and arrows is not really a VO thing. It's a pretty common idiom for a lot of applications and also works for Windows text editors. Is this not what you were looking for?
