Hey I currently have my fn key on my iBook set to expose, and I have to say it's far more convenient than F9 was, what do you guys think is the best place to put your expose trigger?

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.

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.
