That is the key stroke to take you to the Apple menu. Control-F3 takes you to 
the Dock.
Control-F8 takes you to the Status menus.
Command-Shift-D takes you to the Desktop.

All these shortcuts are documented against their corresponding menu items.

VoiceOver does not "Teach" us to do anything in particular. It simply gives us 
options we can use. The specific VO commands are useful when we work with the 
VO keys locked, which was a common thing to do before Snow Leopard and Quick 
Nav.

The standard Mac shortcuts are second nature to me because I've been using a 
Mac for 14 years, and many shortcuts go back a long way. Others are very 
recent, such as Command-Shift-O to go to your Documents folder.

I always teach people the standard Mac shortcuts because you never know when 
you'll need them.

It's worth taking the time to look closely at menus to see just how many useful 
shortcuts there are.

Cheers,

Anne
