Exposé Show Desktop mouse+keyboard shortcuts

Hello!
Back in the Tiger days I used Sidetrack to replace my system's trackpad driver. I used it for two things:
1) Scrolling on the trackpad sides
2) Hot Corners: I had the top right corner set up for Expose (Show Desktop)
Now with Leopard, Sidetrack is not yet compatible but I've gotten used to the two finger scrolling and the two finger+click for the right click. One thing I really miss is the show desktop hot corner.
So my question would be...
Is there any app that can add a hot corner to the mouse trackpad?
Since the likely answer is not without losing the two finger scrolling, the second one would be whether it's possible to assign two keyboard shortcuts for the same action (Expose show desktop).
Currently I've set it up so that Command+"-" shows my desktop.. It's an easy key combo for my spanish keyboard .. but i wouldn't want to lose the F11 shortcut. Is there a way to set up both!?
THANKS!

I have a similar issue, in my case when I want to see all windows, it also shows the desktop right after showing all the windows... (As if I pressed both keys at the same time)
I've posted about it before and got nowhere. I can't track the source...
It's been happening a lot less lately and only on my Mac Pro never on my MBA...

Show desktop no longer works in Quick Look Full Screen view

Is anyone besides myself missing this functionality in Lion? Previously in Snow Leopard, you could be looking at a full screen slideshow in Quick View (by doing cmd+A and hitting the space bar then the full screen arrows) and at any time you were able to do a gesture swipe in order to show the desktop (or you could use a hot corner or keyboard shortcut) and then swipe back down to restore the full screen photo or slideshow. This function is now either broken or just ommitted all together for some reason.
I just can't figure out what logic there was in removing this feature. Anybody care to guess ?

Hi,
I had the same problem (the "show desktop" function didn't work in the corner, nor after pressing the keyboard button) and I found no real fix even after an extensive research, including a restart, permission repair, deleting some files/cache from the Library folder and so. THAN I discovered a function in Onyx which turns the "Mission Control" on and off. It was off (unchecked) in my case, so I checked it on and voilà, all of sudden the "Show desktop" function works again! Hot corners as well!
In Onyx -> Parameters -> Mission Control -> Turn on Mission Control.
Hope it helps!
Happy New Year to you all!

G4 450 and protools, somehow ran out of memory to startup. Error code 10. Tried turning off extensions to boot but now just locks up as I tried a HD verify/repair and then moved the folder to the desktop screen. cant get it off now.froze.

Ok, I have a Mac g4, os9. ..450 Processor. I Think I upgraded ram, can't remember. Maybe a 512 card. Added an 80 gig internal HD for music storage. Computer was solely used for protools LE 5. I knew I was kinda close on my memory for running the program after recording things with plug ins etc. It was beginning to get slow at startup. Anyway it's been a couple years since I used it. I got it set up yesterday and it wouldn't launch and kept giving me error code 10. So I replaced the battery and tried again. the small finder icon in middle of screen would then pop up and alternate with a "?". Then it would change to a pict of a hard drive disk and then a me alternating "?". It would still give me the error code if I clicked on anything. So I then held down the shift key to turn off extensions as it had mentionEd to do a couple times. Still would give me the error code on my home page. If I tried to get into my hd which is on desktop it would give me the message, but somehow it did open one occasion and I went into it and scrolled to disk verify and repair. Did it. Said things were fine. I then saved the results in a file which was then offered along with location. I chose desktop. Probably really bad idea in hind sight.. It did it, but now no matter if I turn extensions off, the home screen pops up but then goes blank. The hard drive icon along with the new folder, and my protools icon immediately dissapear. And it freezes. at one point a message did pop up saying finder could not start up because there is not enough memory available. I'm not a computer guy. Ive tried finding the guy who helped me set this thing up 10 years ago but to no avail. If I can be guided to somehow uncover some of the unneeded memory usage I would then learn how to more efficiently use it. How the heck do I even start. I can't get to a screen which shows what's eating my computers space to even start getting rid of unneeded stuff. Please help if you can. I have so much to loose if I can't get it to work. Btw...I no longer have the os9 disk. I think it was tossed 10 years ago or more. May not even have my original pro tools disks anymore. Uggh.

Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
Not much you can do, but try this anyway...

Is there a way to view just one open Finder window (without any other Finder or other application windows coming into view) from a Desktop hot corner in Yosemite?

I just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Previously, I could view just one open Finder window by viewing the Desktop via a hot corner and then selecting Finder from the Dock. This would pull only the top Finder winder into view, without showing any other open Finder windows, and most importantly, any other open application windows. I could then easily drag files/folder from my Desktop into the Finder window (which I do A LOT). Since upgrading to Yosemite, whenever I use the Desktop hot corner and select Finder from the Dock, it pulls every open application and Finder window back into view, putting Finder in front.
Is there any way to view just one already open Finder window (or all Finder windows for that matter) without seeing all other open applications, without having to Hide the other applications or using Spaces?

Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

"Show Desktop" doesn't work with function keys

I recently upgraded to snow leopard, while doing so I was messing with my expose settings, switching which shortcuts I want with what keys, and now I can't get "show desktop" to work with any of the function keys. I can set it to the shift key or something like that, but that's inconvenient. I've already gone to the keyboard section in system pref and set them to default, still nothing. Any ideas why this could happen?

Yes, I have the same issue on my MacBook pro. I used to have to press fn F11 to get the desktop to show in via Expose but now I am not able to access any of the F key functions since they are already predefined by volume, screen brightness etc.

HT4413 I migrating from my macbook to new imac. nothing showed up until I turned off the imac but everything I had done previously on the imac disappeared.

I was migrating from macbook to a new imac.
Nothing showed up until I turned off the imac.
When I restarted the imac everythign I'd previously done was gome and the migrated macbook desktop had taken over.
How do I bring back the original imac settings.
Thanks

You can't. When you migrate user accounts, those settings will be used. That's the point of migrating, not to have to reset things Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide for details.
If you want to revert to the original user settings, create an new admin user account. That'll use the default user setup.

Show desktop function!

Hi all, before I even started this thread. I have googled for a solution and did not find anything. I am currently using a macbook pro 2007 with mountain lion. I am getting frustrated because i cannot figure this one out. So my problem is that when i use the function show desktop, i click on the folders on the dock and everything that was hidden reappeared back to the desktop. I am trying to figure out where you use show desktop where everything disappears, it stays like that until you want it to reappear again. In OS leopard, it works totally fine. I am able to hide everything by show desktop, browse around witthout having it to come back until I use show desktop again.
Is there any solution to this? Its frustrating because i use show desktop so that i can search for something on other folders or even to check files on the dock by clicking and showing stacks.
thank you

thanks for your post scotch. Of course hitting that command wont work lets say if your safari is active. You have to click away to make the desktop active while the windows are up then it will work.
@ macgeniusofnc
My show desktop commanc is set to F11 and bottom left hot corner. Yes it undos the show desktop.
This is something small yet has been buggin me lol. i tried it again with my old G5 running leopard and it seems to work fine. It doesn't undo it.

Showing Desktop Wallpaper using Gnome 3 & Nemo

Hi,
I just installed Nemo as my file manager since I miss some of the features in Nautilus. To work properly I set Nemo to display the Desktop Icons. Sadly this overrides my Wallpaper blank and I don't know how to configure Nemo or Cinnamon to show it again. As Desktop Environment I am using Gnome 3.
The current gsettings are the following:
org.cinnamon.desktop.background.color-shade-type = solid
org.cinnamon.desktop.background.picture-opacity = 100
org.cinnamon.desktop.background.picture-options = zoom
org.cinnamon.desktop.background.picture-uri = file:///usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/adwaita-timed.xml
org.cinnamon.desktop.background.primary-color = #000000
org.cinnamon.desktop.background.secondary-color = #000000
org.gnome.desktop.background.color-shade-type = solid
org.gnome.desktop.background.picture-opacity = 100
org.gnome.desktop.background.picture-options = zoom
org.gnome.desktop.background.picture-uri = file:///usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/adwaita-timed.xml
org.gnome.desktop.background.primary-color = #023c88
org.gnome.desktop.background.secondary-color = #5789ca
org.gnome.desktop.show-desktop-icons = true
org.nemo.desktop.show-desktop-icons = true
I have not yet configured nemo to start on login, so when I do log in my Desktop Wallpaper is shown properly, once I open Nemo it turns blank.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Greetings
Dero
EDIT:
I just installed cinnamon to test if the background works there and it did. Maybe there is something that needs to be edited in the gnome-session?

Looks cool, here is the an equivalent bash script for Gnome3, it's not random though, it just cycles.

It's supposed to work, but for me it does nothing.

Unable to use show desktop gesture in full screen

Hello,
I save a lot of temporary items to my desktop. I also use full-screen mode for nearly everything and I find it a bit frustrating that I can't just gesture back to the desktop. If I swipe to another desktop, I don't have the same saved items.
Anyone have suggestions for a workaround?

Ahh figured it out. But my hot corner for show desktop still doesn't work when in full screen. Any other suggestions?

Show Desktop shortcut doesn't work anymore...

I've setted SHIFT+F10 as show desktop shortcut, but it doesn't work anymore... in fact no shortcut works anymore, COMMAND/SHIFT/OPTION+F1-2-3-etc.... nothing works!
someone knows why?

I'm having the same problem. Show Desktop works if I assign it to Shift, Control, or whatever, but it doesn't work when it is assigned to an F-key. Shift/Control/Fn + F-key doesn't work either.
Is there a plist file that I need to trash somewhere?
Thanks

Keyboard Shortcuts? Show Desktop?

Is there a possible keyboard shortcut to "show desktop"? I can't seem to find one on the macbook...

you can program 'hot corners' on assign a particular key to do that. here are the steps for each
Hot Corners: You can go into one corner of the screen and the computer will perform the assigned action. 1. go into System Prefs 2. Click 'Exposé and Spaces' 3. Click the scroll menu of the corner you want to activate and scroll down to 'Desktop' 4. Go all the way into that particular corner and the desktop should appear. Go back into the corner to show all your windows again.
Assigning a Key: 1. On the same pane as Hot Corners, click the scroll menu next to "Show Desktop" and click the key you want to assign to show the desktop when pressed. Make sure that this key has no other function, such as volume or brightness.
I know that's a lot of info, but it's worth writing it
