App Expose with Magic Mouse
Is there a way to get App Expose with Magic Mouse? This is a four finger swipe down with a trackpad.

Install MagicPrefs to assign gestures to different applications and create new gestures without any problem
I had it installed previously but didn't see any way to get app expose. Is app expose an application (like Dashboard is in Applications folder)?
Open > About this Mac and check Version. If it's 10.7 or 10.8, Exposé is Mission Control > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4689. Open System Preferences > Mouse > More Gestures to modify this
I may have misnamed what I'm after. But Mission Control then highlight target app and single finger swipe up gets me there. However, with the trackpad, if you have Safari highlight and four finger swipe down, it will show only Safari windows and not all applications. I believe that is called app expose and not just expose, which Mission Control seem to be. Is there a way to get directly to app expose without going through Mission Control?
Lion and Mountain Lion hasn't got Exposé, but you can use Mission Control as Exposé if you have Mountain Lion. Open System Preferences > Mission Control and deactivate Group windows by application. Unfortunately, there is not a mouse gesture for Exposé in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
Which program is being engaged when you do the four finger swipe down using a trackpad?
EDIT:
It is App Expose. I just checked Apple's site http://www.apple.com/osx/what-is/gestures.html. For some reason, my MBP trackpad is configured to use four fingers instead of three. I'm not sure how to access it withou the trackpad.
Found the answer here in the comments: http://www.apple.com/osx/what-is/gestures.html. Double tap the app icon in the dock for App Expose. Do same to exit.
There is also a keyboard shortcut: control + down arrow.
For Notification Center, you can setup a keyboard short via Mission Control.
I know this is somewhat of an old thread, but thank you so much for sharing this, 4thSpace! 🙂
Double-tap on the app in the dock works in OS X El Capitan and brings up the App Exposé
Great to know about the control + down arrow option and it works with Magic Mouse 2 as well!
