There’s no real way of moving an independent Braille cursor, saved for the ability to pan the display. The VO cursor expands the word you’re on (not being able to turn this off is a pity), e.g. when you’re panning through a document in TextEdit or such., and gets highlighted in other contexts, but it eventually jumps to the next element as you pan to that new element.
