Hi all.
Exposè is extrememly cool and I use it extensively, not only to switch between windows, but to move files around amongst applications as well.
One typical activity is, for example, selecting a file on a Finder windows and dragging it into a mail message window to attach it. Another activity is simply moving files around between finder windows and such.
Now, while selecting the file and passing it over the destination application is a VERY fast procedure (thanks to exposè), once the file is on the new application I have to wait a lot (I'd say a good second) before I am allowed to "drop" the file on the app.
is there any way to lower this timeout and make the process faster?
thanks,
Andrea

drag the file, initiate expose, drag over the window you want to switch to. keep holding the mouse button down. and press spacebar.

That's correct, space-bar immediately selects the highlighted window. This also works to speed up spring loaded folders

Not to be mean, but you've just stated that "expos-uh" is extremely cool. Exposé, on the other hand, it what MacOS X has.

No, that's not how Exposè would be pronounced. It's a subtle difference, nowhere close to what you said.
