Wow, now we can access the menu of a style without all those gymnastics we used to have to do. One thing I noticed, I don’t need to bring the mouse to access the menu. I just interact with the style, use the VO Command J command (that’s a new one on me), VO right and press vo space on the menu button. So much easier! Now if Apple will only fix the selection over page boundaries bug, and refrain from breaking things in future updates.
