a few simple shortcut keyboard questions?

[dougens]

some help please.

i need keyboard shortcuts for:

1. disable expose


is this possible?

i know i can go to system preferences and manually put corners and F9 keys etc to none but need a quicker way of doing it please.......?

if this is not already built into the keyboard shortcuts can i set up my own to carry this out?

thanks for any help and have a good day!

What do you mean by "disable expose"?

If you don't want to use it, don't use it. Like Dashboard or Spaces.


I don't know since when MBPs came with a dedicated Exposé (all windows) key, but some older models seem to have it (the F3 key).

There is also the option of assigning another shortcut via System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Btw. your post is confusing, as you want something disabled, but enabled on the other hand.

You want a shortcut to allow you to easily turn it off and on, because another user of your computer doesn't like hot corners or something?

sorry if its confusing.

basically i am a sound engineer so when i am using my recording software i would not like to use the hot corners as when i go to certain areas on the software it shows all windows (bottom left) or desktop (top right) (the only two i have enabled) which is annoying.

when i am not using the recording software i would like to use the hot corners but i don't want to have to go into sytem pref every time i switch from my recording software to other apps as this is time consuming and annoying.

i use the corners alot when not recording or mixing etc and not at all when i am.

regarding keyboard shortcuts in system pref i can assign a new shortcut (i.e. command) but not sure how to program in the command to carry out the desired function?????

thanks for replies.

If all else fails:
Use fast user switching to another account just used for recording.

^ This is the only way to do what the OP has requested. The secondary account can have hot corners turned off and switching between accounts only takes around 5 seconds (depends on applications running and speed of computer)
