Dazmondo77 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 This is just something thats niggled me for quite a while, in the olden days when I used to use Photoshop, one really handy feature that I really miss is when you invoke the Macs mission control shortcut for application windows (I have it assigned to F10), which does the fullscreen thumbnails thing with all open documents - this is something I really miss and have always found mega-useful. I know you can kind of do it, providing you're in separated mode but I find separated mode too messy for my workflow - Just wondering if the team would take on board a suggestion to enable this in regular mode??? Heres a quick vid demoing application windows in separated mode: Mission_Control.mov Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Brighton Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 @Dazmondo77 It's not literally the same but have you tried (default combo) CTRL-downArrow as a workaround? EDIT: It's a bit of a combo of open documents and document history as it turns out.

I realized after I posted that I tested on Photo -- but I never use Separated Mode.

Dazmondo77 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Brad I just fired up my old Macbook and it works the same as yours, yet all my settings are the same as on my mac pro, same shortcut setting for application windows - just thinking I must have activated some hidden thing that turns the standard feature off - just need to figure how to turn it back on as it would be really useful (nowhere near as useful as having large thumbnails and no app window though) Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe set the key sequence to something else at the System Preferences level? If that works, then you have the choice of tracking down what is overriding or not.
