Mac OS X Tiger/System Preferences/Dashboard & Exposé
The Dashboard and Exposé pane is used to set shortcuts that let you access both Dashboard and Exposé. The default shortcuts are:
- All Windows - F9
- Application Windows - F10
- Desktop - F11
- Dashboard - F12
Using the four pop-up menus at the bottom of the window, you can assign any one of these functions to any "F" key. You can also assign it to the command, option, shift, or control keys, because there are two of each of these keys: if you assign Dashboard to the right shift key, then you can still use the left shift key for its normal purposes.
|
TRICK: You can also add a modifer key and an "F" key together to make a keystroke. While choosing a key, hold down one or more modifier keys and watch what happens to the pop-up menus. |
The top half of the window lets you assign features of Mac OS X to corners of the screen. Drag your mouse into the corner you chose, and the feature you assigned will activate. You can assign each corner to activate one of the following:
- Exposé All Windows
- Exposé Application Windows
- Exposé Desktop
- Dashboard
- Start Screen Saver
- Disable Screen Saver (as long as you leave your cursor in the corner, your screen saver will not start)
