How do I see the dock in a fullscreen window in OS X?

I'm running Mac OS X Mavericks and I have several apps set up to use fullscreen mode. There's no dock at the bottom of the screen, and it doesn't appear either when I scroll to the bottom of the screen like it normally does in non-fullscreen mode.

How can I reveal the dock when in fullscreen mode?


Solution 1:

It appears that the trick is to move the cursor to the bottom of screen like I normally would, but KEEP MY FINGER ON THE TRACKPAD when I get there. If you take your finger off of the trackpad, the dock won't appear, but if you keep it there then it will.

(There are other reports that moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen and then repeating the same action again can make the dock appear, but I had inconsistent results with that technique.)

Solution 2:

After you reach the bottom of the screen with the mouse cursor, keep sliding your finger down in the trackpad.
