Expose trick
Has anyone else noticed the effect of pushing the ` key while using either F9 or F10 in expose? The easiest way to figure out what it does is to just try it -- it's a pretty useful feature of expose that I haven't seen documented anywhere. (Maybe I'm just missing it from elsewhere -- if so, moderator, please delete/lock this thread.)

That's kinda nice - does the same as Shift-Tab, only without the extra key.
I wish Apple would document these things. Sometimes I wonder if OS X could cook me dinner and I don't know the key combo.
Thanks

hummm....the next big i-app
cmd+tab+s gives you a nice lite salad.
cmd+tab+l gives you a gormet lobster dinner,
and for the windows crowd...
cmd+alt+delete gives you a PBJ and a can of MR.PIB

For the Exposé challenged among us could someone explain. I tried it with both F9 and F10 and see no difference.
Thanks
If you hit F9 for example first, and then hit `, it will bring the different application windows out in front of all the others and it will keep rotating through the different windows that are open each time you press the ` key. Its like hitting apple-tab only with an expose flavour to it.

you can also just hit tab, it does the same thing
They just go in different order. Hitting ` gives cycles through the windows in the reverse order of hitting tab.

That's cool. I wonder how many unexposed awesome features there are in MacOS X?
hold option AND shift key, than try double clicking into the title bar while you have at least two document windows open (the more the better). i beg you juice ... er ... something

Nice one.

very very sneaky sir.
Actually, you can dispense with the shift key, since that just slows down all animations in 10.3. With just the option key, it minimizes all documents quickly.
Note that you can also option click in the dock to un-minimize all documents from a particular program.
