The odd thing about Text Edit and moving by paragraph is that, Well, I found, you must interact with the text in order for it to work. Press control option shift down arrow, then try vo shift page up or down and see what happens.

I thought doing VO shift page up and page down reads either the previous or next paragraph. I tried doing this command in Safari when I was reading an article, and nothing happened. Should I just do option down or up arrow to read paragraphs instead? By the way, thanks for your description on how the cursor behaves with Voiceover on the Mac. This makes more sense now. I used to use outSPOKEN last time I was on a Mac with OS 9 and the cursor navigation works the same way.

Cmd-left/right moves to the start or end of the line, up/down to the top or bottom of the edit field. Option-left/right moves by word, up/down by paragraph. Add shift to select by the movement instead of just moving by it.
