I agree with Anne’s suggestions. I’d also look under the commanders tab and configure either the keyboard commander, the trackpad commander, or both. For example, I’ve configured keyboard shortcuts to launch my most frequently used apps such as RIGHT OPTION + M for mail, RIGHT Option PLUS R for ReadKit, etc.. I’ve also set up RIGHT OPTION + SPACE to toggle whether VoiceOver is muted because I find it quicker to implement than the default trackpad gesture, a three finger double-tap. You can also set up a keyboard shortcut to announce the date and time. That option is under the “custom commands, run AppleScript” option when adding a new keyboard command. The script you want is in the VoiceOver folder. You may also wish to add an activity which will set the verbosity to low when you are in the mail app. If you don’t do this, you’ll hear “collapsed disclosure triangle” for every thread when in the standard mail view. I think those are all the options I can think of which I would configure right away. These instructions are obviously extremely brief so let me know if you’d like me to elaborate on any of this. This applies to OS X Yosemite.
