[QUOTE="mac57, post: 219382, member: 17052"] OK, help me out with this F10, F11 stuff. I am a new switcher, and I have never understood them. F9 I understand, and F12 (widgets) needs no explanation. Pure Apple sex appeal. But F11, I just don't get. It takes all my open windows and moves them off the screen. What can I do with that? If I try to start a new app on my newly uncluttered desktop, it just brings all those old app windows zooming back in from the edges. My desktop is a mess once more. F10 isn't much more helpful to me. It focuses on the current application windows, greying out everything else. Yes I guess that this could help me focus on my current app, if I have ADHD and can't deal with the other open windows, but I don't have ADHD. Am I missing the intent of F10? Sorry for the silly questions, but what other kind does a recent switcher pose? :-) [/QUOTE]
