How do I get this Mac OS X exposé behavior?

  • 772

In Mac os x, I can move all windows to the nearest corner by hitting F11 key. I'm just wondering if there is a compiz plugin works like that.

I know that there is Scale plugin already. But all that I want is something like this.

You'll see, press a key and all windows fly off to nearest corner so I can drag/drop file or do something else on my desktop, then press the key again and all windows fly back.

  1. Otherwise here is a link to do exactly what u're asking for. After installation you go to Tweaks -> Workspace then you choose what event each corner triggers

  2. You can use for that scale plugin. Take a look for that.

  3. You can use Skippy-XD for this. It is a full-screen task-switcher for X11 similar to Mac OS X's Exposé feature. To install latest development packages (recommended), use the Skippy-XD PPA (daily).

    If you use Xfce, you can easily bind skippy-xd command to Alt + Tab in Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts. For other DEs it should work similarly.
