In HTML, Shift+F8 will (should) work with the Internet Explorer browser
for multi-select list box options.

W3Schools has a good example that works in Firefox and Mac. This
implements the combination of "control+arrow keys" to make a
non-synchronous selection with the keyboard. The JAWS screen reader
renders the non-selected state until the spacebar is pressed to explicitly
select the option.
