Hi Lee, Press cmd-tab to cycle through the various open applications. Once VO announces Finder, wait a second or two to confirm that it is actually in the Finder then press cmd-shift-a to open the Applications folder. Alternatively, press VO-f1-f1 to bring up the Application Chooser menu, choose Finder then do the cmd-shift-a to open the Applications folder.
Regarding editing, the default behaviour of a cursor on the Mac is different than on Windows. If you’re moving directionally right across text, the cursor lands to the right of whatever was just read, be it a word, a character or whatever. Conversely, moving directionally left would land your cursor to the left of whatever VO reads. The Contextual menu is just VO-shift-m, no cmd key necessary. To remove an app, you can usually just find it in the Applications folder then either press cmd-delete or VO-shift-m on it and choose “Move to Trash”. A caution though, to not get too delete happy with the Apple built-in applications. For the most part, you should just leave them be. You can, though, remove third-party apps without issue.
