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
