OS X Tips and Tricks and Hotkeys
Let's do a collection of Tips and Tricks or Gags or our beloved operating system.
Ctrl+Win+Alt+8: Inverted screen, looks weird in color. Windows, have no shadows anymore, they are glowing  holding F12: opens and closes the master DVD drive, Win+F12 the secondary (if you have one) holding ctrl + F12: opens the logout/restart/turn off requester. This is the fastest way to turn off a mac: Hold ctrl + F12 a while and press return. This if especcially useful if you have no display connected or a gfx driver problem. Tips for Expsose: I always put 'All Windows' in the lower right corner and Spaces in the lower left corner. 'Show desktop' is on the middle mouse button. Spaces: Only use one row with 4 colums. So you can easily swith through all 4 screens with Crtl and Crsr-left. ctrl + mouse wheel: zooms the whole screen content 2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination. My Audio stuff: M-Audio Transit USB (default audio), M-Audio ProFire 610, M-Audio ProFire Lightbridge (34 channels) using Creamware A16 ADAT converter • MIDI: M-Audio Midiman 4x MIDI interface • Behringer Audio Mixers: Xenyx 1002, Xenyx 1002FX, Xenyx 1202FX, Eurorack UB1002FX, Eurorack MX1804FX, Eurorack MX262A • FX devices: Lexicon MPX100 DSP, Behringer DSP-1000 Virtualizer, Behringer MiniFEX 800 DSP, Behringer Multicom Pro MDX4400 compressor • RETRO: MSSIAH midi/sequencer/synthesizer cardridge for the C64 (Dual-SID), Steinberg M.S.I.

while trying to figure out why the ctrl+winkey+alt+8 trick doesn't work i stumbled upon a crazy key combination Ctrl+alt+winkey+7, to use it click on the apple logo (just for example) and hold the key combo, your menus will go crazy
