If I'm not mistaken, control-left_arrow brings up Dashboard. I also sometimes have a hard time getting out of it. The 2 finger scrub gesture will sometimes work. F12 seems to bring up Dashboard as well, and hitting that again will close it. None of it seems consistent though. :)
Once you are in Dashboard, VO-f2 twice will bring up the widget menu.
