Hi Brianna,

This is a standard VO Trackpad Commander gesture, and it works without 
positioning your hand sideways, with the palm oriented toward the center of the 
trackpad.  Just keep your fingers close together, and the outside finger close 
to the edge of the trackpad, and the gesture will perform the action as you 
described.

Hi guys, 

I have my trackpad commander turned on. Now, I don't remember if I had to set 
this up as I've had it for a while,  but with two fingers on the right, I 
double-tap and can see my system dialogues. On the other side, I can do the 
same thing and access the application chooser. 
Now, when you do this, you have to position your hands sideways, so that your 
palms face the part of the Mac where your wrists would go while typing. 
Hopefully I've explained that well enough. 
Just figured it was another way to help.
