|  #1 Posted on 11.9.07 1129.45 | Instant Rating: 4.41 | For those running Tiger, there is a feature for which I can't for the life of me figure out a purpose.
If you hit F9, F10 or F11, your screen pans out to varying degrees, allowing you to see all the windows in your present application, all the windows you have up total or pushing all windows aside so you see the desktop. Well if you hit the shift key while doing it, it moves significantly slower. My friends and I can't figure out when this would be useful. Any experience?| Promote this thread! |           | CRZ

They did that because it just LOOKS cool.

It's either that or switch to the app in the Dock and them grab the right file through the menu.
Holy fuck shit motherfucker shit. Read comics. Fuck shit shit fuck shit I sold out when I did my job. Fuck fuck fuck shit fuck. Sorry had to do it....

Right, but why would you need to do it slower?
I think CRZ's explanation is the answer. | JayJayDean

You (and he) are probably right. Why anyone would need to make shift+F11 functional anyway seems silly to me.

I forgot it even existed until you mentioned it, so thanks! |
