I was just being bored when I discovered this.
No need to use drag and drop with VoiceOver on mac to rearrange apps in the doc. Just vo+d, go on the element you want to move, and then option left or right arrow to move that element in the corresponding direction. I don't know if it's new in Tahoe or not though.

it's not a new one, but it's not one many know of i don't think. it's so easy to sort my icons on the dock. lol. so much easier than the taskbar on windows. :P

Alt+Shift left/right arrows will do the same thing on the windows... what is it called already? launch bar? like it's not taskbar which is the full thing. It works for me.

Are you referring to "Task View" (Windows key + Tab)?
Also, agreed, moving items within the Taskbar is rediculously easy in Windows.
