Just discovered a weird feature in the Dock

[JTToft]

If you have an icon that creates an animation when you click it (like a folder with a grid view or a minimized window), try Shift-clicking that icon.

Does anybody know the point of this?

It's just slow-motion for the animation: Mac OS X: Additional features of the Dock

its been like that for a long time. ever since you could minimize windows into the dock the shift key has made it go in slow-motion. why? no idea, but its fun.

- I know what it is, I just don't understand the point of it.
I suppose PlaceofDis' comment sums op the matter quite well: there is no point, but it's fun...

Oh, well. Thanks for your answers.

If I recall correctly, it was put in so that Steve Jobs could demo the behavior of the dock animations when OS X was debuted. It's probably still there just to be cool.

And i have learned something new... Might not be all that useful but at the same time its pretty neat anyways 😛
