Hi,

I think this can confuse as much as educate.  There are so many keyboard 
commands that one can use that are not Voiceover but Mac OSX specific that the 
lines can get blurred in a hurry.  I believe there are documentation out there 
of just Mac OSX specific keyboard commands.  What I think Apple should 
considered doing is, getting rid of some redundant commands.  For example, VO M 
brings you to the menu bar but so does control F2.  I think this is pretty 
silly.  I figure this was probably necessary in Tiger but, its just unnecessary 
now in my opinion.
