On Panther, by doing Command+TAB (equivalent to ALT+TAB on most PC Oses), you get a nice-looking transparent window with the icons of the applications currently open. Reach same applications’ windows via Command+TAB and Cursor Keys I see Expose as a complimentary to workspaces, not as an replacement. If Apple was to incorporate such a feature on OSX, I am sure they would have all the developer support they needed to make it work properly. There are a few third party utilities that enable this function, but they all have their problems, mostly with X11’s window manager.
It just helps out organizing better your work with the computer.

This is because it is very convenient to have a full screen Windows XP desktop on one virtual workspace, and then have another for X11, and another for email and another for casual browsing or chatting, and another for real work. Here is a mockup of what I would like.Īs I said above, Expose is really cool, but for some advanced users it does not completely take away the need for virtual desktops. Call me lazy, but I prefer to use the mouse to do things rather than reaching the Fn keys on the keyboard (no, hot corners won’t cut it for me, they activate Expose accidentally too easily and I want my mouse buttons assigned to their normal actions, not to Expose’). However, without mouse gestures to activate it or without a small set of buttons either in the notification area or the Dock, it makes it pretty far reaching for me. Yes, Expose’ is really cool and functional.
Apple engineers and product managers, take notice! However, anything that’s ‘great’ can become ‘near-perfect’ with a bit more effort, right? Read our 10.4 wish list and then use the comment section to post your own wish list for the next version of OSX. Panther includes more than 150 new features, enhancements and optimizations. The best ever version of Mac OS X, 10.3 Panther, is now available.
