How can I hide all applications but the current one on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard), and restore them again?
Sometimes I want to concentrate on the application I'm working with currently, and make all other windows go away temporarily. I am looking for a functionality similar to "Aero Shake" on Windows 7. It should be fast and easy – a mouse gesture or simple key combination would be best.

As far as I know, the system does not keep track of which apps were visible prior to the most recent “hide other apps” action.
You might find the third party apps Think or Isolator useful though (found them both via “6 Apps To Help You Focus & Be Productive [Mac]”).
