[SOLVED] Mac style show all windows?

[stldirty]

Is there anyway to get something like the macs show all windows when u press f9? thanks in advance.

Yes, it's the scale plugin in Compiz. First, make sure you have compiz running, then install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable the scale plugin. You can the the F9 key, or any other key, as hotkey for that action.

I like Compiz mouse shortcuts - whereby you can activate a plugin by moving the mouse to the screen corner.

I have mine set-up to activate Scale when I move the mouse pointer to the bottom left corner. I find it a faster manoeuver with a laptop trackpad than keyboard shortcuts.

Who said Compiz was all about show and no substance? :)

What are the other hotkeys used for macs? Like what do F10 and F11, etc. do?

[damis648]

F10 in mac shows only windows from the current application and F11 hides all windows (Show Desktop compiz plugin ;))

[mavsman4457]

Does F12 or F8 do anything interesting with the windows? Or an other F buttons?

[damis648]

I really do not know for sure.

F8 - shows spaces = Compiz Expo-plugin
F12 - shows dashboard (widgets) = Compiz Widget layer-plugin
