Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between the "Today" and "Notifications" tabs in Notification Center in OS X Yosemite?
I'm looking for something equivalent to the cmd–shift–[/] shortcuts in Safari.

Select Next Tab: ⌘+} (selects the tab to the right of your current tab)
Select Previous Tab: ⌘+{ (select the tab to the left of your current tab)
These are the shortcuts listed under the Window menu, but I think it would make more sense to say ⌘+⇧+], since that's actually what you type.
Since there are menu items that these shortcuts trigger, you can use System Preferences-> Keyboard-> Keyboard Shortcuts-> Application Shortcuts (or App Shortcuts on newer OSX versions) to reassign the shortcuts to whatever you want. For Terminal, choose Other..., then, under Applications, go to Utilities -> Terminal.app:
There is a configurable keyboard shortcut to open Notification Center:
Other than that, there seems to be no way to configure any keyboard shortcuts. The closest I could get is discovering that you can set Notification Center as the action for a hot corner. If you wanted to do this when a key is pressed, you can try combining this with AppleScript (like in this post).

I hate these kinds of answers, but there doesn't appear to be one.
Another question points out that you can use some kinda-hacky Applescripts to work around the limitation: Does Notification Center have keyboard shortcuts?
I was toying around this, and it seems the key combos that notification center responds to depends on the active widgets. If you're in notification mode, you can reliably jump back to widgets by hitting TabTabEnter, but on Widgets, I find that the calculator tends to monopolize all keyboard input and prevent any tab jumping from working.
