FWIW, I was able in the latest OS to get the VO drag commands to move something to the dock.
1. Go into system preferences- Dock and uncheck “Automatically hide and show the Dock unchecked checkbox” 2. Don’t use the drag command but instead use the drag after or drag before commands ( vo-Greater and VO-< ) Though generally, I just use the contextual menu when the application is running. I wonder if that would be considered an accessibility bug that the Dock hides itself before the drag operation can complete Certainly, sighted folks can use spring loaded folders and other wizbang stuff when dragging and dropping. Though I can’t imagine exactly how such would be controlled. Best wishes, Jonathan > On 24 Mar 2016, at 10:20, Donna Goodin <doniado...@me.com> wrote: > > Thank you, Shawn!!!
