Set Exposé's keyboard shortcuts to any keys
Authored by: Izzard on Jul 26, '05 04:47:24AM

Please investigate this: I had customized my Exposé keys, a while ago, to require the Cmd key. I then changed my mind and used the "Defaults" button in the Keyboard Shortcut preferences to revert back to all the standard keyboard shortcuts. HOWEVER, this would only last until I next logged in.

Even if I quick-changed to another user account and back to mine, the Expose keyboard shortcuts would revert to my user defined ones. They'd do this before my very eyes - a second after switching back to my account I'd see the shortcuts change back to my customized ones within the preferences pane.

This was driving me NUTS, until someone pointed out that I should look at the Exposé and Dasboard preferences instead of the Keyboard one. I set the defaults there and now they stick - what a relief!

Very odd behaviour. I wonder if anyone else gets this? I consider it a bug: I don't think the Exposé and Dashboard preferences should repeatedly overwrite the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences every time you log in. The last one you changed should be the one that sticks.
