Try PullTab
Authored by: Basilisk on Mar 03, '03 11:37:02AM

Funnily enough, I had partially the same problem described in the article (wanted to use a thrid party app swticher).

My solution was to make the Dock give up the Cmd-Tab key. See PullTab (http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/pulltab/index.html), APE module, open source, very simple.

Yes, this is a shameless plug, but I've been reading the Dock killer articles on MacOS X hints for a while now and decided it was time to share my solution.

Permanently disable the dock in 10.2

A great hint! I have never really seen the need for the dock ever since I switched from the OS that shall not be named. The first thing I did was hide the dock and forget about it - I prefer to use LaunchBar.

I have followed the simple instructions and even installed the program switcher app manager. System works fine for all users - those that prefer the "safe" dock and those that prefer the speed of LaunchBar.

I was happy with the original hint (move/kill dock). Now I am *extremely* happy coz with this and wraparound I see four benefits: 1) the wraparound 2) not having to click a button to allow LiteSwitch (Proteron.com) command-tab functioning, 3) essentially getting rid of the Dock, while 4) actually still having it if needed (why?!) with just a keystroke.

Many thanks!
