I am in search of a list of commands to edit on an iPhone? Is this even possible? I ask because when I tried to use ctrl+a it did not work, although it now occurs to me I might have been supposed to use command a. Anyway, is there a list of keyboard editing commands for iOS? I tried to search, but I didn't see a guide that looked like what I was after.
Thank you.

List of keyboard commands
Here the required list of commands to control your iOS device or to edit texts using VoiceOver:

A tip
If you aren't already aware, pressing and holding the Command key will display a popup list of all available keyboard shortcuts for the app that you are currently using.
Holding down Command to get a list of commands doesn't work on i
This is apparently not supported on the iPhone, or at least, I was unable to get it to work on the iPhone. It works ok on the iPad, though. One of these days, I will modify my Bluetooth keyboard guide to talk a little more about the editing of text. There are a series of podcasts on using VO with a Bluetooth keyboard where I use the iPhone. I think the second part is about editing text?

Good luck!
thanks all
I did look at the list of commands. Come to find out, it was not that I didn't know the commands but more of I found a bug with VO and word. It seemed text selection wasn't working. Come to figure out, this problem only seems to be with word where visually it is working, but VO provides no feedback. Nonetheless, revisiting these commands was a good thing.
