Best Expose Key?
Mouse corners work best for me.
Top left corner = all apps
Bottom left corner = current app windows
Top right = desktop
Bottom right = activate screenlock
I hated having to keep my hand on the left part of the keyboard. Now with a two-button mouse + scroll and I just used my right hand to do everything except apple-Q with my left hand.

Yep the extra mouse buttons are the best
. Using the keyboard is slow.Quote:

dont you have an ibook?
i use the fn key for uControl scrolling. hold down the fn key and you can use the trackpad to scroll. quite nice. i never use a mouse anymore with my ibook.

OT: i just use the regular old F9 key. to be honest, i havent gotten used enough to the expose feature to use it frequently. i usually have the tops or corners of all my windows exposed so i can just go click em.
I use the regular keys on my iBook, but rearranged:
All windows is F11 (because that's easiest to find without looking)
Show desktop is F10 (because that's next easiest)
App windows is F9 (I hardly use this one)
I need my fn key for scrolling and whatnot so I could never give that up to Expos�.

uControl? Thats only good to remap keys. Real pros use SideTrack.

tried sidetrack. after using ucontrol for so long, it just annoyed me for some reason. i like being able to hold fn and scrolling on ANY part of the trackpad as compared to just the edge like sidetrack.

I have it set as narrow as possible, and on the right side. To use it, you literally have to put your finger half off the trackpad. Best way I think, because we don't get those dividers like on PC trackpads. Keeps me from accidentally scrolling.
cmd- right click = all
option right click= app
ctrl right click = desk
plus f7 f8 f9, in backwards order from stock. same as the mouse modifiers.
and i have hot corners.
lower right= all windoze
upper left= desk
pretty weird, but ive gotten used to it. i like that i can just loop into the lower right and trigger the expose, i dont have to hold it there like i do waiting for the screen saver.
this is on an ibook btw.
