Another means to minimize all windows
Authored by: cclifton on Mar 12, '04 03:19:49PM

While not exactly what you were looking for, you can use Command-` to jump between documents of a single application. I used to use this quite a bit, though I use it less now that we have Exposé.

Another means to minimize all windows

As regards the original hint, I personally find that using command+H to hide the app works better for me; less dock clutter, less mousing (you don't even need to click on the app in the dock to un-hide it- use command+tab to activate it). Regarding powerbooks' hijacking of the function keys, the answer is here fnSwitch. This simply switches what the fn modifier key modifies; this means you can have the F1-F12 keys function normally, using the fn key when you want change screen brightness! This is really handy for the newer powerbooks that use every key but F11 and F12 for system settings, making Exposé a major pain... I never use these keys anyway, the only useful one being audio, which can be done from the menu bar. :)
