Leopard Trick - Secondary Mouse Button
Posted by Wendy
Feeling irritated to reach those far away F8 to F12 key for activating Space, Exposé, or Dashboard for your Mac? If you use double-button mouse, this trick will be very useful.
Follow these simple steps :
- Go to System Preferences
- Enter Exposé and Spaces Preferences Pane
- Click on Exposé tab
- Expand the second option box
- Hold down one or more modifier keys and choose the modified secondary mouse button. The symbol of pressed modifier keys will be visible
- I've created mine like the picture below
- Now click on the Spaces tab and do the same way, of course with different modifier keys
Please accept my apology for one-button mouse users.

this suggestion is a bit silly, but it does point out more options for Expose and spaces, IMHO. if you're reaching for the shift (or other) key in order to do this, then you can reach for the F keys.

I use hot corners instead. That way I can just fling my cursor the corner to activate exposé. No holding keys down or anything. And that trick works with 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5.
