    Digial Audio / Logitech MX500 @ Home

    Scroll Down Button - All Windows

    Application Button - App Windows

    Scroll Up Button - Desktop

    Every other button on my mouse is bound (thumb buttons are copy/paste)





    Cube @ Work, and every other Mac we own with a one-button.

    F9-F11 as default.



    On my home machine, the keyboard shortcuts are also the same for cross-machine familiarity.



    Oh Exposé, how I love thou.

    Assuming you are right-handed, don't you feel F1-F3 is better? Left hand on the keyboard, right hand on the mouse.

    Never really occurred to me to move things. I'm accustom to moving my hand across the board to the F9-11 keys. One the one buttons I always scroll web pages with my left hand on the cursor keys so its not that much a stretch

    Glad a few others see it my way. Those F keys are easily accessible while mousing with my right hand.

    Though there is sombody cruising in your wake



    Anyway, my favorite is: exposé all program windows (how doesn't matter) and than tabbing between apps by using tab, that is clearly the best way switching between apps

    F9 F10 and F11



    I would like to have it at F1-F3 but... on a powerbook you kinda lose some functions pertaining the backlight and muting.

    Doesn't anyone use the hot corners?



    That's the only way to go.



    Drag and drop too.



    Drag text or files/folders, drag to the appropriate corner, mouseover appropriate minimized window, let it auto-maximize and drop the selection.



    So elegant (in action, not description).



    Top left: All Windows

    Bottom Left: Application WIndows

    Top Right: Desktop

    Bottom Right: Screensaver

    I'm a hot corner guy.

    Top left = F9

    Top right = F10

    Bottom left = F11

    Bottom right = screen saver



    It's good... m.

    middle button - show all

    left corner - all windows in that app

    right corner - show desktop



    I'll also use the F9-F11 keys sometimes, since i'm left handed.

    That would be real neat to show people! But would lose novelty quickly I think.

    Has anyone figured out a way to remap Expose to other keys besides F1-F12?



    Edit a plist somewhere or somethin'?



    (edit)



    Ah... found the answer at the website that has taught me more about OS X than any other:
