Keyboard shortcut to open widgets on Big Sur?

I hope I'm missing something obvious! Looking for a simple keyboard shortcut (existing or a way to create one) that will open my widgets panel.


Short of that, how about making it a "hot corner" option??


Looking for a very quick way to open and close. Seems like it would be useful.

There is a gesture, swipe from right edge of Trackpad.


You can create a shortcut in Keyboard System Preferences. In the Shortcuts tab, select Mission Control and enable "Show Notification Center." Set your own shortcut for it by clicking on the none text next to it.

Excellent! Thanks! I was searching for ways to see the widgets specifically so I didn't think about it as the notification center. (Which I have never felt a need for before in all my years of Mac ownership.) Appreciate it! :)


I would still love a hot corner though (and wouldn't that be so intuitive??).


Anyway, this should solve my problem. :)
