Exposé Hidden Secrets: Keyboard Controls

Expose is cool, but as a more demanding user, I find it faster to just click on the icons in the dock to bring up the associated application.

F10 - Show windows for one app is really useful though.

>>I find it faster to just click on the icons in the dock to bring up the associated application

I prefer Command-Tab so I’m not having to mouse to the dock everytime I want to jump to an open app.

Thanks! I didn’t know about some of this functionality before

Another important keypress F11 clears all windows to show the Desktop. I think I use that one most of all.

>>The reason they are hard to find, is that there isn’t a place where you can remap the keys

Actually, in Tiger you can remap or completely disable the Expose keys. In System Preferences, under the Dashboard and Expose control panel, you can change the control keys and corners, or just disable them all.

By holding down the ’shift’ key with the F9 or F10 key, you can achieve a cool slow motion effect.

I’ve never understood the enthusiasm for that “cool slow motion effect.” Major waste of some coder’s time. They should have saved that key combination for something useful.

To cycle through the windows in the current frontmost application, use Cmd-` (Backtick, to right of left-hand shift key). This can also be remapped back to Cmd-§ in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Keyboard Navigation
