See below dug,
Selecting text
You can use standard Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts to select text.
Note:You must have set text selection tracking preferences for moving the
keyboard cursor and VoiceOver cursor together in VoiceOver Utility. You can
turn on and off your cursor tracking preferences.
Turning off cursor tracking
Here are ways to select text:
◾To select the character to the right or left of the insertion point, press
Shift-Right Arrow or Shift-Left Arrow.
◾To select the word to the right or left of the insertion point, press
Shift-Option-Right Arrow or Shift-Option-Left Arrow.
◾To select the text from the keyboard cursor to the beginning or to the end of
the line, press Shift-Command-Right Arrow or Shift-Command-Left Arrow.
◾To select the text from the keyboard cursor to the beginning or to the end of
the text area, press Shift-Command-Up Arrow or Shift-Command-Down Arrow.
You can delete selected text by pressing the Delete key. If you accidentally
delete selected text, use the keyboard shortcut Command-Z to undo the mistake.
This correction works only if it occurs immediately after the mistake. This
shortcut works in many applications and situations, and is worth trying to see
if it corrects a mistake.
If you can’t select text using standard Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts, as in an
email message that you have received, press VO-Return. Then press VO-arrow keys
to read the text you want to select, and then press VO-Return again. The text
that was read is highlighted and selected.
To select sections of text that aren’t next to each other, first turn off
cursor tracking by pressing VO-Shift-F3. Then move the VoiceOver cursor to the
first item and press VO-Command-Space bar. Move to the next item and press the
keys again. Repeat until all the text you want is selected.

Subject: [mac4theblind] A Textedit Question
I can’t find a keystroke to select text from the voiceover cursor to the
beginning or end of a document.
If suck a keystroke exists, please tell me.
