What is this, and where can I turn it off? That’s also supposed to be the shortcut key to move paragraphs around in Mac Word but it seems the OS hotkey assignment is taking it over…
Thanks
Look in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Yeah that’s the weird thing. It lists Ctrl-Up Arrow as the key for Mission Control, but nothing is listed for Ctrl-Shift-Up Arrow.
It basically is doing the same thing as Mission Control but really slowly.
Like, it takes a full 4 seconds to animate all the windows out. Normal Mission Control is well under a second, nice and quick.
What happens if you remap Mission Control to something else?
I’m working on my Snow Leopard system, otherwise I’d check and see if my Lion machine does the same thing as yours.
If you hold down Shift while doing any of the screen-management-type actions, it happens in slo-mo. I’m not sure why (maybe just so you can ogle the animation). Shift+expose and Shift+spaces work the same way (I’m still on Snow Leopard, so YMMV).
Huh. Yeah Garfield you’re right. Beowulff - followed your suggestion, I unmapped Mission Control and the “shift” version does nothing. So it seems Garfield is right and Shift just, generally, causes the window movement stuff to go in a real awkward slow-mo.
Thanks dope!
He is right. IIRC it was done for demo purposes back when resizing/deforming windows was impressive and has kind of stayed. A legacy bit of fun.
