Sure, I could do this under VO Commanders, but I enjoyed the challenge and learning something new about my Mac. I also thought, the service shortcuts would work when VO is off. I like to know the native Mac shortcuts as much as possible, in case there is a problem with VO.
Extending the shortcut discussion a bit further… Have y'all noticed there is 3 flippin ways to get or to open the desktop? VO-shift-d, F11, then to open it command-shift-D. Lol, I think I'll reassign one of those.
