Kelvin,
That’s the equivalent of having an item selected in IOS & then sliding your
finger down to access the menu or “actions” for that item. Like clearing a
message off the top of your phone’s screen. There are some similarities
between the “actions” & the “context menu.” And in fact, some of the options
in both can be repeated. However, each of those menus, also, contain varied or
different options. It’s one of the ways that Apple is trying to mirror the OS
experience to the IOS environment. I suspect, over time, that OS will become
more & more aligned with IOS. Makes sense to me.
Anyway, hope this helps,
CJ

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.
