Is there a Gnome keyboard shortcut to show all open windows?

Hi,

Is there a Gnome keyboard shortcut to show all open windows?

I'm shamefully running the Macbuntu skin and this will finally give me UI nirvana.

any ideas?

thanks for the reply, couldn't see anything under the compiz config settings manager under windows section.

I'll have another look on google later today.

Search for "scale" plugin in compiz. But it only shows windows which are not minimized...

Hi Nick,

I'm looking specifically a way to show (maximise) all windows.

Not exactly what I was looking for, but more useful in some ways:

Ring Switcher:
This gives you a view kind of like when you flip through CD and DVD covers on iTunes, only the view is of your available windows.
Clockwise rotation: super-tab
Counter-clockwise rotation: super-shift-tab
Let go to land on the window you see in the center of the screen.
