Anne,
When I use voiceover mostly for reading, when I want to go to the end of a
line, I press vo+ right arrow. We don't seem to have the same function of
end, home and such in the Mac. Is this correct? Thanks.
Isaac

Subject: Re: the fn key?
Hello Isaac,
The FN key modifies the actions of the function keys. By default, the
Function keys control hardware functions: volume, brightness, etc.
VoiceOver uses the function keys for software purposes and having to press
the FN key in addition to the VO keys adds an unnecessary level of
complication, which is why most of us make the change to the use of the FN
key.
The FN key is also used on a laptop keyboard with the arrow keys to get
the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down functions.
Cheers,
Anne
