Not to perpetuate the earlier discussion, but for me, moving from top to bottom of the mailbox list is accomplished by pressing CMD-Option plus up or down arrow to move to the top or bottom respectively. Just mentioning this in case that turns out to be the case for Kevin as well. Cheers,

Hi Kevin, When in the Mail app on your Mac, you can easily move to the top or bottom of the mailbox list by pressing the Option key, then use the Up Arrow to move to the first item in the mailbox list, or press the down Arrow to move to the last item in the mailbox list. You can move between

Hi Brad, That’s very possible. That’s why I said it appears to be system wide. I can’t say that I’ve tried it in every single app on my Mac. I just wanted newer users to know that they might have to add the VO modifier keys for it to work. Cheers, Donna > On Jan 8, 2023, at 1:08 PM, Brad

Hello Donna and all,What you are experiencing has to do with the behavior of VoiceOver navigation within a specific application, such as Mail, TextEdit, or  other native Mac applications.This is a separate issue from modifying the behavior of the arrow keys while holding down only the Fn key.-

Hi Michael, So if I go into keyboard help and press those keys—exactly as you describe—VO does say Home, End etc. But if I press FN plus an arrow key without the VO modifier while in a document, webpage etc,nothing happens. Cheers, Donna > On Jan 8, 2023, at 11:23 AM, Michael Babcock wrote:

Hi Donna! To verify, when you press and hold FN, while pressing left or right in keyboard help mode with VO+K your saying your computer doesn’t say home or end unless you press the VO keys as well? That is strange, on this MacBook Air, I can do the following steps: 1. Press VO+K to enter

Changing the behavior of the arrow keys is not a function of VoiceOver, therefore it is not necessary to use the VO modifier in order to use the alternate actions of the arrow keys as described in my original response. You can test this by turning on Keyboard Help, then press the different arrow
