    Ive just discovered fit to fill and since im using a lot of slugs, this seems great. Unfortunately, Shift-11 isnt working. When I hit Shift-11 to fit to fill, all the windows open on the computer slowly move to the side, leaving the desktop bare. Im sure there is a simple preference to change, but I dont know what it is. What can i do to fix this?

    Thanks!

    I’m guessing you’re on a Mac, since what you’re describing sounds like Exposé behavior (the Shift key makes it go in slo-mo). Go into your System Preferences, select Keyboard & Mouse, and under the Keyboard tab, make sure the checkbox that reads “Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” is selected. Then click Show All to return to System Preferences, go into Exposé and Spaces, and set Show Desktop to something other than F11. That should do the trick.

    Of course he’s on a Mac. Check your forum.
