Hi,

It is not necessary to turn off Cursor Tracking when selecting non-contiguous 
items anymore.  It was needed, I believe, up until Mountain Lion but is not 
anymore.  These instructions will work as well:

* Interact with the list of items.
* Navigate to the first item you wish to select.
* Press VO-cmd-return
, press the key combination a second time to select as the first one unselects 
the item.
* navigate through the rest of your list with VO up or down pressing 
VO-cmd-return on items you wish selected.  Only one return is needed for all 
subsequent selections.
* If you accidentally select something, simply press VO-cmd-return to unselect.
* Stop Interacting with the list and you'll hear a little VO sound effect which 
is essentially turning Cursor Tracking back on automatically.
* Press cmd-c to Copy or whatever key combination does your desired action.

HTH.

Later...
