Re: Widgets
I have just listened to David Woodbridge’s podcast on the dashboard and unless its me, some of the keystrokes have obviously changed in later versions of Mavericks. For example command, vo will not close an open widget, does anyone know of the later way of using widgets? Any help appreciated.
