Not sure whether this relates, but before Maverick I would press Shift + Control and arrow left or right or up or down to select text. Now in Mavericks this seems to have change to Shift + Option and arrows.

Now, pressing VO arrow keys causes the mouse selector to move in the appropriate direction and highlight text as it goes. Pressing the opposite arrow causes on highlighting of text. When the desire text has been selected, pressVO Inter again to stop selection mode. In other words, it now works like that touch pad/mouse for sighted people. I really like it.
