So if VO isn't talking, but the shift down arrow is selecting, isn't that something about which we should write to Apple? Gary, my sighted husband, told me that shift down arrow works for him just as it does in windows.

I went to a web page and pressed shift down arrow a few times, then pressed command C. Then I opened up text edit and pasted and there was the lines of text from the webpage. While I was selecting, Voiceover gave me no speech feedback though.
