Sidebar key shortcuts

[James Welch]

Are there any other key shortcuts for the sidebar besides WindowKey +
Spacebar to bring gadgets to front/un hide sidebar?

Not what you may want, but....

WinKey+B
then use the arrow keys selected the item
hit space

 

[Steve Drake]

or.....

Create a short cut to :

C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\SideBar.EXE

attached a keyboard shortcut to this.

Ya, it kinda works. What I wish Vista would do would be sort of a thing like
the Apple Widgets. Where you can hide all of them at once, and then show all
of them at once, with just the press of a key. Currently the sidebar wont
allow the hiding of Gadgets that are detached from the sidebar. Hopefully
they will add this feature even if they have to copy Apple, again.
Not saying I like apple tho, windows plz.

Repeatedly entering Win+G will cycle through all the gadgets, similar to
Alt-Tab that applications use.
