Hi, Regarding #2, VO+left or right will move between items one at. Time. So, for example, in a document if you’ve interacted with the document area, it would move word by word. In a table, it would move across the row announcing each column’s contents for that row, then move to the next row doing the same thing until the table end. If in a browser, it will move element by element with varying amounts of items read, all depending on whether you’re in Group or DOM navigation.
When you add FN to the VO+left or right gesture, it will no longer move in the manner outlined above, it will instead move the VO cursor directly to the beginning or end of the interacted with area. Consider that a screen reader can only work when there are specific API hooks for it to grab ahold of. Each hook is analyzed by the screen reader to determine how to behave. So, if the developer of an application uses accessible elements within their coding, then the screen reader is able to have specific commands to ignore some elements and go directly to the hook identified as the beginning or end of an item, or group of items. If these accessible elements are not implemented within the coding of the application, then the screen reader has nothing to hook onto, thus it can’t tell you anything. HTH.
