@BridgestoneRE711,
Isn't the function available on Vista too? I thought it would be since it's oredi available on XP - or is there a different way to switch in between applications for Vista? *grins*

Thanks for the tip (not to discourage you)

But some of us are aware of this Alt-Tab switching in OSX. It has been there since OSX 10.2 if Im not mistaken. On the other hand people prefer to use Exposé because its just unique and it rocks

Command Tab app switching had been introduced for sometime alr, to add to it, when pressing Command Tab, you can quit the app highlighted by moving from the Tab button to Q button.

there's nothing much to brag about the system shortcuts. every little shortcut has been documented by many around the net.

if you think the default shortcut are not enough for you. time for something more hardcore. get Quicksilver, it will change the way you use your mac wink.gif trust me.

Oooh I just learned this the other day. Cmd + ` Switches between windows. For instance, if you have multiple Finder windows open at the same time or multiple word documents open you don't even have to lift your hand off the keyboard to switch between the windows. Of and in expose, pressing Tab also cycles between the windows! Neat!!! Now my hands will firmly be on the keyboard muahahaha

I'd change my Spotlight shortcut to Ctrl+Spacebar. And I use it all the time to launched applications. When your applications shows on the top list, hold Cmd+Enter; it will be launch. With this i rarely need to even goes to my dock.

If you want to have some better control. Quilsilver is to go. But there is a learning curve that you need to get hold on to.
