Hi all, what about vo enter on a web page, selecting the lines of text
with shift down arrow, then vo enter again to stop selecting text, and
then copy with command c?

CTRL F8 and left arrow once, which will give you the time, down arrow
from there will give you the whole date and time readout. This is a
shortcut way of pressing VO M twice quickly, giving you the status
menu. I, too, wish there was one keygoard shortcut to read date and
time. If someone has a more streamlined way, I'd like to know, too.
As far as selecting multiple lines while interacting, VO right arrow
with shift will sometimes select more than just the line, which you
selected with VO shift down arrow. Personally, I'm not clear on
selection either, and my Home and End keys seem to be different from
what I'm told; Function left and right arrow appear to have no result,
instead of being home and end respectively as I'm told they should
be. This is on a MacBook Pro15, so maybe it's been changed.
Hope this helps.
