VoiceOver keyboard shortcuts

VoiceOver can be started by pressing Cmd + F5. VoiceOver uses Control + Option keys before every command, and this combination is referred as "VO" in the table below. The VO keys can be locked by pressing Control + Option + ; (semicolon). In this case, they do not need to be pressed each time for commands starting with VO+.
