There is a widget to do that, yes, but don't remember where I saw it.

I'll see if I can find it, and e-mail you the widget file, if I find it.

No guarantee though.  I don't currently have it, but I know for a fact I saw it.

Could you not just use Activity Monitor under your Utilities folder?  OK, it's 
not as quick as popping open the dashboard, ok, I'll grant you that, but it 
does work.

  Okay, that did it. Still, I thought there was a command to move from widget 
to widget. Ah well, this beats going online to somewhere like 
braille.wunderground.com, and now I'll look for more widgets. If anyone sees a 
system monitor with cpu/ram/hard disk info, please let me know.

    I launch dashboard and am read some of my widgets automatically, but I 
can't move between them. I just get an image that is a link, an info button, 
and a couple other ocntrols. I know I have more widgets than just one, but I 
seem to get stuck in one (inaccessible) widget. Using the stop interacting 
command does no good.

    I find the weather one to be quite useful, actually.

    I don't use it, because I just open spotlight or my applications folder and 
open what I want. Are there dashboard widgets that people find helpful? I 
suppose a weather and system monitor could be handy...

    Hello,

    I’m not sure if I was just incredibly ignorant of the fact, but dashboard 
is totally accessible. By totally accessible, I mean you can pick the various 
widgets you want to interact with using VO.
    By pressing VO+F2 twice, just like you were going into window chooser, it 
brings up a dashboard menu, allowing you to pick any widget currently installed 
on your system.
    I just thought folks would find that info useful, seeing as when I was 
actually on a call with apple accessibility trying to find out that info, I 
stumbled onto it myself.
