[QUOTE="eric, post: 350205, member: 22327"] from the swither f.a.q. in the switcher forum: Q: How do I show the desktop like I could in Windows? Q: What is this expose I keep hearing about? A: Expose is a neat tool for window management. The shortcuts used for Expose are: F9 - Show all active windows from all programs. Click on any one to bring it into focus. F10 - Show all active windows from the active or in focus program. Click on any one to bring it into focus. F11 - Hide all windows - this is not the same as minimize, as show desktop works in Windows. Allows access to the desktop. Pressing any of these keys a second time puts everything back the way it was. Pressing another Expose shortcut switches to that action. Q: That's nice and all, but what I really wanted to do was "minimize" everything like I used to be able to do in Windows. Can I move everything to the Dock? A: Sure. Try one of the following commands: Command+Opt+H Command+Opt+Click the desktop [/QUOTE]
