Our reader Agnes uses an application, which makes use of the F8-F12 keys. By default, these keys are assigned to bring up Spaces, control Exposé and the Dashboard.
However, there is a way, to use these keys as “normal” F-keys in an application. Let’s see how.
We already looked at Spaces, the feature in Leopard that gives you multiple desktops. Usage is fairly simple, just press the F8 key (default) or click the icon in the Dock to invoke Spaces and pick the window you want to make active.
But there is more to Spaces, which makes this feature just a little more useful.
If one screen is not enough for you, then just go out and buy another monitor! What!?
Don’t worry, just kidding…
With Mac OS X Leopard, Apple introduces a feature called “Spaces”. The idea is to give you multiple, (virtual) desktops on only one screen (cool, saves you money).
