Where on earth did you discover that key command?

So, after playing with the new operating system a bit more, I'm going to stick
with it rather than going back to Catalina although I still think that Apple
has taken several steps backward with this new OS. I figure there's no point
going back to an old operating system even if it's a bit easier for some things.
I do hope Apple fixes the bug with using the dock, but I have an acceptable
work around for that. I prefer not to open the applications folder every time I
want to open an app which is what I used the dock for. Since this is currently
not possible, I have made aliases for the applications I use the most and put
them on my desktop.
Regarding the messages application, I think I have found what I would consider
to be a major voiceover bug and it's one reason I was having so much trouble
with the app. Voiceover has a setting that determines how groups are handled, I
usually use the bookend groups option since this eliminates the need to
interact with items as much. This setting does not currently work with the
messages app. Basically the new messages app has two sections, the
conversations list and to the right of that is the area where the selected
conversation is displayed. If you use one of the other voiceover group settings
besides standard, once you move in to one of these areas, voiceover will get
stuck there and you cannot get out of this section and go to the other one.
Since I usually use the bookend groups setting, I created an activity for the
messages app that switches to the standard setting instead. Unlike the messages
app in Catalina, you can no longer use just the arrow keys to select a
conversation, you must interact with the conversations list and use voiceover
to select the conversation you want. Also, when opening the context menu for a
conversation, you must use the voiceover up and down commands to move through
the menu, using the regular arrow keys will not work.
I've also found an odd issue with the notification center, in previous
operating systems, when an application requested to use the notification
center, the prompt would appear and there were buttons to allow or deny the
request. With Big Sur, either those buttons do not appear or Voiceover does not
see them. You have to press VO+command+space to open the actions menu to
respond to the notification.
I really hope Apple fixes some of these issues, I would consider some of them
to be major.
