This hint shows how to combine Spaces and Exposé to show all open windows on all workspaces, using AppleScript and BetterTouchTool.
Lion may have Mission Control but for Leopard/Snow Leopard users, it can be a pain to find a particular window among all the workspaces. The following AppleScript activates Spaces and Exposé together and orders windows by alphabetical order:
tell application "System Events"
key code 100 -- F8 - Spaces
key code 101 -- F9 - Exposé All Windows
keystroke "1" using {command down}
end tell
The more RAM you have, the better -- on a machine with 2GB RAM, it took a second or two to run the script, whereas it runs instantly on a 8GB machine.
You can get BetterTouchTool at http://www.boastr.de. It's an amazing program to customize trackpad and mouse gestures to do pretty much anything.
