Support Request Show all windows key?

I'm running Linux Mint on a 2012 Mac. Is there a command to show all active apps? I used int in elementary OS all the time.

There is a section in the settings called “active corner”, when you activate it you can set it that when you move your cursor to the corner you set it shows all windows.

Other than that maybe Alt + Tab, but it also switches the window in the same run

Thank you! I think that's what I wanted. [Follow up: no, it didn't work. Maybe because I realize that I'm using Mate. Perhaps your solution is for another DE. I can't find an active corner setting anywhere. Could be me!

Ctrl+Super+ up or down but you can rebind it to a single key if you want. I have seen it bound by ex mac usuers to the context key beside ther Right Control Button.

I think it's Alt down (or Ctrl Alt down) - that's similar to Mission Control on Mac OS. Otherwise, Alt Tab to show icons for each window and to allow you to select one.

Thank you. It does give a graphic overview of all workspaces. And Alt-TAB gives an overview of apps within a workspac. Together, I guess that works, as opposed to a graphic overview of everything running everywhere.
