These commands will usually work, however a web page developer can bind arrow
keys to javascript functions and if they do then by default the way VoiceOver
works with arrow keys gets disabled. If you need this, you can turn arrow key
browsing on in the Web section of VoiceOver utility.
Also, when VoiceOver reads a chunk of text when pressing VO-left or right
arrow, then usually you can use the interact function until VoiceOver says
interacting with text. At this point VO Left/Right will read by word. This will
only work until you hit a word chunk of text boundary, at least while
Grouping behavior in VO Utility Navigation pane is set to standard If you
change it to announce groups, then VoiceOver will switch back to a higher level
of navigation for VO-Left//Right when you go past the boundary.
I am beginning to think that "Announce groups is the best setting for this not
only when using a braille display but also when using Voice.
