Notification Center keyboard shortcut broken

The keyboard shortcut "Show Notification Center" you can set under System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Mission Control stopped working for me after a restart.

I tried resetting to defaults, changing the short cut and finally exiting all running apps and processes - nothing seems to bring back the short cut.

Does anybody know how to debug this or a plist where I can manually edit this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

Resetting PRAM did not fix the problem for me, either.


I worked around it locally by using the MacOS Automator to create a new Workflow. The workflow had a single "Run Applescript" action in it where the applescript is as follows:

on run {input, parameters}

tell application "System Events"

tell process "Notification Center"

click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1

end tell

end tell

end run


Then I saved the workflow and used BetterTouchTool (http://www.boastr.de/) to bind a "Start Automator Workflow" trigger to a a keyboard shortcut.

Resetting PRAM didn't work for me. This solution is great, but I don't think the AppleScript is compatible with Mavericks or Yosemite.


This AppleScript works in Yosemite:


tell application "System Events" click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 of application process "SystemUIServer" end tell


BetterTouchTool, as mentioned, or Alfred (http://www.alfredapp.com/) can be used to assign a hotkey to the script.
