Use the application switcher to force quit an application
Oct 20, '04 09:06:00AM • Contributed by: marcelv
I noticed a while ago that it is possible to 'force quit' an application in another way than is already documented (Command-Option-Escape or Control-click an active app in the dock). I found out that it is sometimes also possible by hitting the Command-Option-Q keys after tabbing to the selected app you want to quit.
It is not a real force quit, because when you try it on an app that is not stuck, it will ask you to save the active document first. But sometimes an app is not responding. In this way, you are able to quit that app in most cases.
