Quicktip Day 12: Exposé to the function keys

Quicktip #12 (February 12, 2009) Exposé to the function keys

I love Mac OS X’s Exposé feature that can reveal the desktop (among other things) with one keystroke. I have it mapped to the middle button on the Mighty Mouse. Problem is that my function keys and shift+function keys and option+functions keys are always mapped to other things, especially in Final Cut Pro. So I mapped Exposé to Control + option + command + function keys ... that’s a combination that I don’t use in FCP.

Good tip, Scott.  I always recommend that all new FCP edit stations have their Expose shortcuts remapped. I like Cmd - Opt as the modifier myself ... its a combo that can easily be pressed with a single finger and its not a commonly used FCP default.
Loving the tips, keep ‘em coming.

Thanks Andy. I always forget to check this when I sit down at a new Mac to edit but then one push of the button and I am quickly reminded!
