That is pretty neat, but it's way more complicated than it needs to be. I
set up a notification center hot key: command,
control N. When I press that hot key, the first thing that pops up is the
ability to disable banners and alerts for 24 hours.
I've never actually wanted to do that, but it's neat to know its there.
I'm glad that there are so many alternative methods
of accomplishing the same task, though. It sometimes seems that people
jump through a bunch of extra hoops to accomplish
something relatively simple, when basic keyboard navigation can often
achieve similar, if not exactly the same results.
Thanks for sharing, though. I'm sure it will be beneficial to a lot of
folks on this list.

Subject: Cool discovery about Notification Center in Mountain Lion
If you didn't know about this, and did like I did and accidentally
enabled
it, it could become really annoying, but I googled
and figured out what I'd done, and how, and now, it's actually quite
nice,
now that I know what I'm doing.
So, here's what I found out. If you go up into your extras menu bar area
where your icons are like the notification center,
if you go over to the notifications area, then make sure your actual
mouse
pointer is on the icon with vo+command+F5, if you
then click your literal mouse/track pad, sorry,
vo+command+space isn't gonna do the trick here, you literally! have to
vo+command+click
the actual mouse, but anyway, if you click the physical mouse, now here's
the trick though... while! holding down your option
key, you're not gonna think anything happened from a Voiceover
standpoint,
however, lookat what you just did! Vo away and
then back to the notificatino center icon!
Cool! Huh! You just toggled on Do not Disturb for one whole day, 24
hours!
Now, if you wanna toggle dnd back off, just do the same thing...
option+literally click the icon again. Notice, this was not a typo on
option+my
part. I am perfectly aware that control clicking is your context
shortcut
menu. That isn't! what I'm talking about. I do
literally mean the option key, not? the control key.
I just thought that was a cool little tip that I accidentally stumbled
on,
totally by accident and would let you all know
about.
Chris.
