That is pretty neat, but it's way more complicated than it needs to be. I set up a notification center hot key: command, control N. When I press that hot key, the first thing that pops up is the ability to disable banners and alerts for 24 hours. I've never actually wanted to do that, but it's neat to know its there. I'm glad that there are so many alternative methods of accomplishing the same task, though. It sometimes seems that people jump through a bunch of extra hoops to accomplish something relatively simple, when basic keyboard navigation can often achieve similar, if not exactly the same results. Thanks for sharing, though. I'm sure it will be beneficial to a lot of folks on this list.

So, here's what I found out. If you go up into your extras menu bar area where your icons are like the notification center, if you go over to the notifications area, then make sure your actual mouse pointer is on the icon with vo+command+F5, if you then click your literal mouse/track pad, sorry, vo+command+space isn't gonna do the trick here, you literally! have to vo+command+click the actual mouse, but anyway, if you click the physical mouse, now here's the trick though... while! holding down your option key, you're not gonna think anything happened from a Voiceover standpoint, however, lookat what you just did! Vo away and then back to the notificatino center icon! Cool! Huh! You just toggled on Do not Disturb for one whole day, 24 hours! Now, if you wanna toggle dnd back off, just do the same thing... option+literally click the icon again. Notice, this was not a typo on option+my part. I am perfectly aware that control clicking is your context shortcut menu. That isn't! what I'm talking about. I do literally mean the option key, not? the control key. I just thought that was a cool little tip that I accidentally stumbled on, totally by accident and would let you all know about.
