No, unfortunately I don't know for sure as I only run unsupported machines...

Well, I posted over in the open core reddit, to see if anyone over there knows. Even before Monterey dropped support, I've been trying to find open source alternatives to mac native stuff as I like being able to use as many programs as possible, that are the same program regardless the OS it's running on. With that said, I like using the keyboard a lot more than the mouse for certain things, and little things like this keep coming up. Now a lot of this type of issue seems to be with the OS it self, regardless of being on a supported, or unsupported machine, or not.

Usually, I've been able to answer questions on my own regarding if the problem is apple related, or third party. I should also mention, that I haven't seen anyone mention this particular problem either.

Basically when I type the first letter, or two, of what I want in the file selection box, it doesn't select it like it used to in earlier versions of macOS and currently haven't found a fix. As a whole, the keyboard works fine, it's just the file selection by typing that seems to not work as it should.
 
OK, seems like I'm getting the keyboard navigation to work in the Open/ Save dialogs now. I was able to select an app by tying it's first few letters, or documents, etc.

It seems like Apple has made the file system case sensitive, which is normal for Unix /Linux, but I don't think it was case sensitive for older versions. So it must have been a fairly recent change in the last few releases.

As I've also mentioned, I've used more recent versions in VMware Fusion VMs too to eliminate Open Core in trying to see what Apple broke, and what is a result from a patched OS. Most of the time in my experience, most of the things I get irritated with have been changes Apple has made to the OS, and very few things have been related to OpenCore. At least on this mac and setup.

I also got my Epson stuff to install and work as well.

I already know I'm not going to dual boot multiple versions of macOS anymore on the same mac. It messes with icloud, even when only one is signed in. Just the dual boot can make things unhappy at times.
 
macOS 15.6b3 installed atop 15.5b2 OTA, OCLP v.2.4.0, runs as expected.

Both with root patches and without has worked here, in my humble experience, as long as the source has the same status as the target in this regard. Migrating from an OCLP Mac to a supported Mac has also worked here without issues.

Just to be sure I checked myself and saw the same problem; although the migration destination could boot to the account login screen, when attempting to login, it boot-looped to the migration assistant screen that normally appears at the first reboot after completing a migration, and this repeated over at each attempted login.
 
Is iMessage still a known issue for Sequoia? I just had a bunch of issues with the messages app freezing and having to force quit. I deleted the message causing it from the phone and started over fresh with that conversation,and it seems to be happier now. Still wanted to find out if it causes known issues though.

I believe you have to uninstall root patches in order for Migration Assistant to work. I’ve read it elsewhere here and it worked for me the only time I tried.

Thank you, but do you mean uninstall root patches at the Migration Assistant destination MacBook Air or at the source or at both?
