Well, it does seem strange that command and option wouldn't work normally. It can't be a voiceover-combination problem per se since command has nothing to do with vo combinations. Maybe it has something to do with whether a keyboard can accept two-key combinations but even for Windows a keyboard has to do that. Very strange! I can tell you for sure that my IOGear multi-link bluetooth keyboard functions properly but I don't know if this is available in the UK. I bought it on Amazon but I am in the US. What I like about the multilink is that I can pair it with six different devices and easily switch between devices on it.
