How To: Clear The Screen Clutter Of Other Applications

Working on the Mac can be distracting at times especially on larger displays. A larger display allows users to present more content at any given time. Whilst this may assist from time to time you may also want to clear the space of distractions and hide all other application windows.

One way to limit the distractions is by pressing Command + Option + H on your keyboard from any application. You will notice once these series of keys are pressed that all other applications and their associated windows, which are not being used, will be hidden.
