How to “Clear All” Windows 10 Action Center notifications with keyboard
In Windows 10 desktop, is there way to "Clear All" of the Action Center notifications with the keyboard?
I know WinA will open the Action Center. But I haven't found a shortcut to dismiss the notifications.

Try:
WinKey + A (to open Action Center)
Shift + Tab (to set focus on "clear all")
Space

I may have spoke too soon. It works, but it's not ideal. Apparently shift+tab doesn't work, so you have to Tab about 7 times to get to "Clear All" :(

A keyboard sequence this is. A keyboard shortcut? Seems like a bit of a longcut to me. Sadly, this may be the best that Redmond is offering us. :-(

The first Shift+Tab only focuses the settings tiles within the Action Center for me; a second press focuses the Clear All button.
