10.7: Slow down the entering of Mission Control

Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Up-arrow will animate the entering of Mission Control in a slow, smooth fashion.

In Lion, the keyboard shortcut to enter Mission Control is Ctrl+Up-arrow. This will quickly show you all your windows and spaces. If you add Shift to the keyboard combo, the animation goes much slower, almost like a presentation transition. Not sure why this would be useful other than to slow down productivity.

[crarko adds: This hint presumes you haven't remapped the default keyboard shortcut for Mission Control in System Preferences. Use of the Shift key to put these kinds of animations into slow-motion has been around for quite a while. Not surprisingly, it applies to Mission Control as well.]
