Okay- I got it to work. Never thought of that, though I guess I knew it was possible.

So, is there a way to use a keystroke to enable/disable expose? I can’t figure that one out… thanks.

you can set a hotkey for anything that has a menu item

go to System Preferences ->Kyboard & mouse ->Keyboard Shortcuts

Hit the + button on the left side->Select Application->Menu Title (Exact Name]-> Then put the desired keystroke

I know the problem, but only seems useful if you were able to assign a keystroke to engage/disengage it. As far as I can tell, neither program allows that. Still, might be useful in some situations.

Also, one thing I’ve been looking for is a similar program to engage/disengage expose. I have ‘hot corners’ enabled on my mac, and whenever unaccustomed users are on it, they go crazy! I always end up having to go into system prefs to turn it off for them… anyone know of a program that could help?
