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.

Hi,
I m wondering what is the best key
combination for a screen reader user to use when selecting items from a
multiple <select> <option> list in html. Is there any way that a user can
make continuous/ non continuous selections on such a list while being
informed of the selected / deselected state of the items when selecting
and deselecting?
Thanks,
Piumi
