Another means to minimize all windows
The window management is one of the few things I don't like about MacOS (being a recent switcher from Linux/Windows)..
Another means to minimize all windows
While not exactly what you were looking for, you can use Command-` to jump between documents of a single application. I used to use this quite a bit, though I use it less now that we have Exposé.

As regards the original hint, I personally find that using command+H to hide the app works better for me; less dock clutter, less mousing (you don't even need to click on the app in the dock to un-hide it- use command+tab to activate it). Regarding powerbooks' hijacking of the function keys, the answer is here fnSwitch. This simply switches what the fn modifier key modifies; this means you can have the F1-F12 keys function normally, using the fn key when you want change screen brightness! This is really handy for the newer powerbooks that use every key but F11 and F12 for system settings, making Exposé a major pain... I never use these keys anyway, the only useful one being audio, which can be done from the menu bar. :)
cycle through windows
First I assume you mean command-tab to cycle through the open apps.

Thanks for the tip.. Command-` works great, I can switch between multiple Safari windows. It gives more granularity than the Alt-Tab switching in Linux/Windows - since you can explicitly choose what you're switching between.
cycle through windows
I thought that for some reason, we had lost the ability to cycle through open windows by using command-tilde. The reason I thought this is because I'm not able to do that any more. I checked my 'Services' to see if any of them had stolen that keyboard shortcut, but found nothing there. Anyone have any ideas why it wouldn't work for me any more? I'm running the latest version of Panther. Any help would be appreciated.
cycle through windows
From the Apple menu, choose
System Preferences.... Click on Keyboard & Mouse. Click the Keyboard Shortcuts button (tab). Look under Keyboard Navigation. (Twiddle the arrow if necessary.) Look for Rotate Windows among the commands there. It should have a check in the box at the left, and Cmd-` should be listed as the shortcut at the right. If either the check or the shortcut is missing, that would explain why it doesn't work.
switching windows in your browser of choice
I found a javascript to switch between two windows in Safari, but should work in any browser.
This hides one window behind the other. Copy to your bookmark bar or menu, rename something like 'switch' and use. One problem is it doesn't work so well if the download window is open. If anyone has a fix :) |
