I think we can all agree that Exposé is pretty useful, but as we start to incorporate it into our work styles how has it helped or hindered all of you? First thing I noticed is that the commands it uses, F9–F11, supercede Quark's shortcuts (an easy fix—but an interesting coincidence). I find that I am working much more at full screen size and hardly have anything minimized down to the dock and I've done away with windowshade from unsanity ($11 very well spent!).

What do you all think?

yeah expose is probably the most useful new feature for years. Very useful in dreamweaver/photoshop etc.

I don't like having to stretch over to the F9 key all the time though. That sounds ****ing lazy when i read that back! But when you got your right hand on the mouse it's annoying having to reach over with your left hand.

I got it to do an F9 in the bottom left of the screen. You can use the right hand command/option/shift keys I think if you need the F keys for Quark

I mapped it to the 3 extra and pretty much useless buttons on my Kensington pro/elite(whatever) mouse and it's VERY fast.
