Hello, On my MacBookPro, I've been using various areas of the TrackPad to bring up various applications; for example, 2-finger double-tapping the bottom of the TrackPad to launch the Dock or tapping the upper part of the TrackPad to bring up the Apple Menu.
Saves a lot of time.

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.
