A couple of questions about my new Note 2014

[Douglas97]

My old Tab 2 and my Galaxy S5 Mini both have one button you can press that will list all running apps. This allows me to do 2 things:

1. Switch quickly between apps I'm currently using.
2. Easily close all running apps with one press of a button

How do I do the same on my Note 10.1 2014?

The help screen says to swipe from the right of the screen, but this merely opens a menu of seemingly randomly-selected apps, not the apps that are currently open. Also this menu appears to offer no way of closing all running apps.

Press and hold the home button.

As Bosbouer replied , just press and hold the Home button. The side menu is a list of apps you are allowed to use in multi window mode. Do yourself a favor and open up YouTube, type in Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and you will have a ton of lengthy video reviews, how-to videos etc. You now own a powerful versatile tablet so you might as well invest 2 hours of your time to learn how to use it.

If you root your tablet you can download xposed framework and change the menu key to a recent apps key(same as S5mini).

Or you can use Nova Launcher Prime and set up a simple gesture on screen for that. When I am on my home screen I swipe down with two fingers for this access.

Yeah nova launcher prime is really good. I was simply suggesting the free option because the tablet by itself costs about five hundred dollars and some people do not like the idea of paying extra money for a tablet that costs that much.
