    System Preferences.

    I drag 1 finger to the corner of the pad and everything in use is shown.

    I have a laptop but I don't use it... or, rather, I use a keyboard and mouse and second monitor. Sitting on a laptop all day (with one screen and having to use a track pad) would be torture.

    I don't want to see everything in use very often (I have it programmed to do that on right-click). I want to go to my desktop. There's no hot key for that (it's Start-D on Windows machines). I can click to a black spot on the desktop and then Hide Other, which is the next-best thing, and I have an app that I can click on to hide everything (to show desktop) but it's lunacy that there's no hot key to do that.

    It's F11 by default on my Mac.

    For me, using a Mac is like driving on the left side of the road. Sure, I could get used to it, but it will always feel unnatural.

    F11 is close, too. Not quite what I'd like (I don't like how it bumps things to the edges), but close.

    I've sort of given up on ever getting use to the OS.

    Don't look now but you are starting to talk like tech nerd.

    See it's not that hard to talk another language, might not be looked at as cool, but easy to talk tech . . . just don't let the players hear you talk about "system preferences" and "dragging" shit or you might get same comments from them that you dish out here. :)
