    Exposé, dashboard, and the one that hides all the windows (f11) just stopped working? It happened last night, so I restarted and it was fixed. But now its happening again. F8, which I have set to view all the spaces, works perfectly though. Whenever I hit F9, F10, F11, or F12, it has the same effect as hitting the spacebar? Anybody got any ideas? I'm gonna mess around with it but would appreciate some advice.

    ==edit==

    Went to the system prefs, looks like my setting for which button does what got erased. idk. but it works now so its ok.

    Some programs will remove your hotkeys.

    Particularly World of Warcraft.

    Damn them. I just installed the trial. Why does it do that?

    They're not sure. Blizz says they've been in talks with Apple for a while now.

    The issue has existed for a long time. I notice I never have a problem if I run it in windowed mode.

    Also, notice that when you play WoW full screen, none of your normal OS X shortcuts seem to work. I have Synergy shortcuts setup for controlling itunes, and it stops those from working.

    Yea I did notice that. I hit command+q to try to quit (my natural instinct by now) and I was disapointed it didn't work. Took my a few seconds to think to use the escape button that I don't think I've ever had to use.
