[SOLVED] What is the key combiantion triggering mac expose type task switcher?
« on: October 11, 2012, 11:05:35 AM »
While my son plays with the keyboard, I have seen that he brings up a Mac Expose style task switching appearance to the KDE desktop. I have not been able to locate the exact key/mouse combination needed to bring this up.

Please tell me how to do it.
-SS.

Dunno what MAC Expose is ......  but with KDE effects enabled pushing the mouse cursor up to the top left corner shows all open windows and allows for selection of any of them ......  is it something like that?

Try Ctrl+F8 and Ctrl+F9

Configure Your Desktop > Desktop Effects > All Effects > bonkers mad things everywhere....

It wasn't a screen edge or Alt+Tab?

Ctrl-F9 it is. That works.

However, there must be a mouse-way of doing the same which I am actually looking for now.

Push the mouse up into the top left corner (as Just17 suggested) ;)

Push the mouse into the top left corner it is.

But... due to some reason, this does not work in my regular installation on this same machine while it is working now on this Test installation.

I will just label it SOLVED. Thank you all.
