Show Notes
Continuing on from the last episode about Application Switching is expose options and your mouse, Expose is one great tool but there is one thing missing I HATE about it using the keyboard to to in able the great features that expose has to offers.
I own a Logitech lx6 Cordless Optical Mouse that has the traditional mouse buttons But also has the left and right scroll buttons.
Expose has a great feature that allows you to program mouse buttons to enable the expose features.
I use the and left scroll to enable expose for all windows and the right side scroll to hide windows I choose not to enable in single application because i don’t use that feature at all
here is how you enable this feature on your mouse
Go ahead and Open your System Preferences and double click on “expose and spaces”
Now Click on the expose tab
in the expose section you will be able to assign the mouse keys you need for enabling the features
I used button 7 (left) and 8 (right)
For a bonus tip you can also enable a mouse button for dashboard
Now I’m even more productive with out leaving my mouse Neat huh?
