Hi Chris, Ok, when on a web page and with Quick Nav on I pressed h to get to a heading, then VO plus Return. But I just get a beep which indicates I'm trying to do something which can't be done. I tried then moving somewhere after the heading and pressing VO Return again, then copying and pasting anyway just to check, and nothing was selected. I tried with Quick Nav switched off as well and had the same results. Have you any ideas what's going on here? It's very frustrating and I can't help thinking I just must be doing something wrong but I don't for the life of me know what. I went into keyboard help to make sure I am pressing the correct keys and it says wen I press Option Control Return "select item" so I am pressing the right things…any ideas?
