Hello George, Michael, and Others, In Mavericks, you turn on multiple text selection after interacting with the list or table with VO-Command-Return (or as Zack says, "vo-cmd-enter"). You select individual items with VO-Return.
A good place to check commands is the Appendix A list of Commands and Gestures in the VoiceOver Getting Started Guide for each OS. • VoiceOver Getting Started Guide for OS X Mavericks (10.9): http://help.apple.com/voiceover/info/guide/10.9/English.lproj/ The exact link to Appendix A in the Getting Started Guide for Mavericks is: http://help.apple.com/voiceover/info/guide/10.9/English.lproj/_1203.html Navigate to "Interaction Commands", which is the second heading level 2, to read the commands. You can also use item chooser menu to look for "multiple selection". People who, like me, are not yet running Mavericks, can also read through the VoiceOver Getting Started Guide on the web. Here's an excerpt from the summary list of actions and the command keys to use for these pasted in from this Appendix. This also covers the answer to Michael's question on how to stop multiple selection: Action: Start multiple selection in a list or table, and select each item Command: VO-Command-Return To stop multiple selection, cut or copy the selected items, press Escape, or stop interacting with the list or table in which the items are located. Action: Select a menu or list item Command: VO-Return HTH.
