Linux Mint – Cinnamon – Launch Expo View from command line – Launch Scale (Overview) View
Here is my config
Because I use Workspace grid (2D) and switcher to have my workspaces as a grid, I cannot use the shortcuts to show Expo view and Scale view. (The applet override the shortcuts to navigate through workspaces).
So I added my own custom keyboard shortcuts !
Expo view command
sh -c 'dbus-send --dest=org.Cinnamon --print-reply /org/Cinnamon org.Cinnamon.ShowExpo >/dev/null'
Scale view command
sh -c 'dbus-send --dest=org.Cinnamon --print-reply /org/Cinnamon org.Cinnamon.ShowOverview >/dev/null'
