There are commands for moving to the beginning or the end of a document, but you can't select text the way you do in Windows. I am not aS Pprofficient with bluetooth keyboard commands since all I use them for is typing long text, but as far as I know you still have to change the rotor to words if, for example, you want to go back a few words etc. I think you also need to use the rotor and the text selection set to characters, words or lines to select text, you can't just arrow up a few lines, press home to go to the beginning of a line and then hold down control+shift and arrow right to select a bunch of words, then use Control+c or Control+X to copy or move them etc. These are exactly the things people talk about when the topic of efficient word processing comes up. Sighted people have it a bit easier as they can pinch and stuff like that and see as they are doing it what is being selected and so on.
