compizmacosxplugins
In Mac os x, I can move all windows to the nearest corner by hitting F11 key.
I'm just wondering if there is a compiz plugin works like that.
I know that there is Scale plugin already. But all that I want is something like this.
You'll see, press a key and all windows fly off to nearest corner so I can drag/drop file or do something else on my desktop, then press the key again and all windows fly back.
This is a reported bug.

Semi-Permanent solution copied here:
active_plugins
I say "semi-permanent" because some software updates (Unity) may cause the plug-in order to get rearranged, so you may need to repeat these steps 2 or 3 times per month.
The above fix stopped working with the upgrade to 12.10 and continues on with 13.04. There are proposed solutions for 12.10 & 13.04 at the bug report link above, but so far nothing solid.
Semi-Permanent solution for 12.10:
active-plugins
Note that system updates may revert this fix and you may have to use dconf to fix it again.
Please continue to contribute to the bug report to get the problem fixed in 12.04 LTS, 12.10 and beyond.
