previously in catalina i used to have trouble accessing menu extras, only one
menu would show and blue tooth would not open correctly. Now menu extras is
accessible from any application, notifications, as mentioned does not show but
vo n is a good shortcut.
no issues with mail as yet.

Kelvin,
That's great! I didn't run in to the password problem you describe. But,
YMMV. The thing that really bugs me is Mail inconsistancies. Basic
operation is fine. But, the "All In-Boxes" feature can be a little funny.
Also, I don't like that archived files show up in the folders I've
established on my Mac for storage & in the general archive folder for each
account. Other than that, I guess it's okay.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck,
CJ

OK, upgrade done, had to get sighted assistance when reqquested to enter
app store password, vo did not inform me of what was on the screen.
So far so good, new Logic update also but Logic runs fine.
Bunch of new system sounds to get used to.
Brave browser opens and appears to be in good shape.

You’re welcome,
But, remember I haven’t had much time to use the latest version of Logic
with Big Sur. Can’t test to it’s cooperative spirit with VoiceOver. Just a
mention, as I know that’s important to many on this list.
Otherwise, enjoy,

Kelvin,
I’ve experienced some anomalies. Mostly, small & inconsequential. The
notifications interaction can be hit-&-miss. But over all, I’m glad I did
it. The alignment between OS & IOS is interesting & promising. I know
you’re experienced enough to backup for a potential restore, so I won’t
belabor that point. In short, I think you’d be okay. But, your mileage
may vary. I just decided to take the plunge & nothing’s blown up.
All the best,
CJ

Yeah,
Like I said, their actually different. Try VO-Command-Space on an item
& then try VO-Shift-M & you’ll find they’re are some similarities & some
differences. I’ve found, over-all, that I like Big Sur. But, there are
some anomalies.
Best of luck & Merry Christmas, Happy Honica or whatever you celebrate,

Thanks, CJ. Since I got a BT keyboard for my iPhone, the only time I
use touch screen commands if when I’m out and about and can’t bring the
keyboard with me. VO Shift M opens the context menu, at least most
times, in IOS.

Mark,
The VO-Command-SpaceBar is now the equivalent of sliding one finger
down on a selected item to open the “Actions menu” in IOS. It’s
similar to a Right Mouse click or VO-Shift-Down arrow. But, it’s not,
actually, the context menu. The options are somewhat different. It
is, in fact, part of the effort to bring Mac’s OS more in line with
Ios’s presentation.
Hope this helps the learning curve,
CJ

Thanks, Suzanne! I’ll try that. VO Command Space was a “mouse click,”
a while back; maybe that’s why that works. I was also going to
experiment to see if either track pad or keyboard commander could be
set up to give a shortcut. I love my iPHone, and use the touch screen
interface quite confidently, but because I type so fast and grew up
memorizing keyboard commands, I haven’t even used the track pad on my
MacBook Air, and keep the commander off, and just use the keyboard
for everything.

Hi,
Have you tried VO plus n? Sometimes that works for me.
I found this out by speaking with Apple Accessibility. The guy I
spoke with, Justin, was very much on the ball! Notification Center
has been completely revamped and it is still a little buggy.
Sometimes, if you’re in a list of notifications, if you hit VO plus
Command plus Space, you can go down a menu, if you need to make a
menu selection.
Good luck.

I’m sure this is a simple fix, but I’m not able to access
Notification Center from the Menu Extras section in Big Sur. Only
way I’ve found it is through Preferences, but is there a simpler
way to do it? Same issue with battery charge status—it’s not
showing in Menu Extras. Also, none of my sounds are playing.
Any fixes for these minor issues?
Thanks.
