This seems great but I cannot tell: will it now be possible to use the keyboard to switch focus from the command line to the widget window, thereby gaining access to the keyboard shortcuts (e.g., of buttons)? 🤞

@alan-isaac Yes, every GUI element, including the widget panel and the widgets inside of it, is accessible by keyboard! There isn't a direct shortcut to get to the widget panel from the Command Center, but you can get there by cycling the focus with the Tab key.

This is all great, but I suspect the single most needed keyboard action is to toggle between the command line and the widget window. Can a keyboard toggle be added?
