david, I had the same problem and Chuck was the one to get it to work. I understand Slau's idea but it's not very practical if you have to move fast. I can have 40 tracks loaded and thanks to Chuck select any of them in seconds for example track 1-6-10-20-36 can be selected while leaving the others untouched without hiding, grouping etc. Use an actual mouse, go to the track table, interact with it, click the mouse or VO spacebar on the first track then just move through the table and command click the actual mouse on each track you want to select. The biggest prob I had at the beginning was not understanding you need a mouse and not VO spacebar for this. Chuck, the answer to not needing sighted help for the gray bar is to use the VO resize window command until you are sure the mouse is always where you need it to be. In my case I've had to resize different ways for different sessions because of too many tracks. Usually I get it in 2 or three tries of resizing. You also need the true mouse to do other things like solo safe and general commands that won't work with VO and mouse modifier keys.
