Teresa,
thank you for your response. The name of the keyboard, which I should
have specified in my initial message, is the Anker T300. Every other key
combo works well. As a matter of principle, I'd likely return it but
the original packaging isn't in the most usable state. The VO-command
combo with arrow keys work; the keyboard just seems picky about whether
the left command or right command key is used. Other than this one
quirk, I haven't noticed other combinations which don't work. I can
live with it but I find it annoying and I've never encountered such a
thing on non-Microsoft keyboards for Windows computers. Again, thanks
for at least confirming that this isn't just me.

Hi, David,
I don't think the Anker keyboards support all the VO functions. I have one as
well. The command-VO-arrow keys don't seem to work for me, either. I think
there's a disclaimer in the VO-specific list of keyboard commands that
indicates they are for the Apple wireless keyboard.

I am experiencing a very, very odd and bizarre problem with a recently
purchased anchor Apple-compatible keyboard. After successfully pairing the
keyboard with my iPhone, everything works well except for the following issue.
This keyboard has a layout identical to the typical wireless keyboards you see
for Apple devices. However, when I press control-option-left command with up
arrow, the parameter, such as sounds, volume, etc. does not change. When I
went into keyboard help with Vo-K, this key combo is silent, as though it's not
registering at all. Here's the odd thing: if I press ctrl-option-right hand
command with up arrow, the key combo works but ctrl-option-right command down
arrow does not work. Has anyone encountered this and is there a fix?
