Dear Paul, I also register this behaviour both on sierra and on Catalina. Mostly, these system dialogues are not that important but occasionally they are. The way I explore them to act upon the ones that are important is to invoke application chooser menu. Only then will you be able to

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

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,

I hear VO make these kinds of announcements and find there is nothing. I hear it frequently on the log-on screen. It is nothing new to Catalina. I'm still running High Sierra on my Mac mini, and hear these announcements all the time. I’ve learned to not worry about it. - Brad - On Mar

Hi, System dialogs usually don't appear under the Window Chooser because the Window Chooser pertains to the active application. Use the Application Chooser instead, VO-f1-f1, then arrow down and one of the choices will be System dialogs. Arrow right and down any active System dialogs.
