Hi James,

Probably the closest thing you can get to a list of commands
for VoiceOver is to print out the Appendix of the VoiceOver
Getting Started Leopard Guide (pages 103-107).  You can
save these as a separate PDF file.

Go to http://w3.wmcnet.org/dtbmaker/books/vogs/
and pick the link for VoiceOver Getting Started (PDF) 10+ Meg
under the items for VoiceOver Getting Started (Leopard) entries.

Open this in Preview, then use the Command+p shortcut to
print. To get just pages 103 to 107, under Tiger I would tab
three times.  Type the starting page number (103), press
tab, then type the ending page number (107).  Then I would
use the item chooser menu (VO-keys+i) to select the first
unknown and return.  If you don't have your mouse cursor
tracking you VoiceOver cursor, you'll have to route your mouse
cursor to your VO cursor with Conrol-Option-Command+F5
(or maybe FN-Control-Option-Command+F5 on a laptop).
VO-keys+shift+space for the options and choose "save as PDF".
Give it some new name like "VoiceOver Keyboard Shortcuts".

Of course, since we also use a large number of the regular
Mac keyboard shortcuts (and some of them are not officially
documented, like the Command+{ and Command-] shortcuts
to expand and collapse podcast folders in iTunes) these will
not be listed, nor will the larger set of general navigation
shortcuts for Cocoa.

I still use the listings that Bruce Bailey put together for Tiger at
http://home.adelphia.net/~bmss/vo/
for some quick lookups:

<begin excerpt>

There is some content here that is unique to this site.

Full Keyboard Access for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.  Everything all in one place, 
logically grouped, but quite long (about twenty pages in print).
VoiceOver Keyboard Commands for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.  Just the VO 
keystrokes, logically grouped into five categories.
VO keystrokes as above but chunked into five pages.  This is how the VO Help 
Viewer files are arranged.
VoiceOver Keyboard Commands listed by key.

<end excerpt>

I think this was pulled from the VO help files and reformatted.
This is like the requests for a list of ALL Mac keyboard shortcuts
-- it's a neverending process.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
