Saft - Add very useful features to Safari
Authored by: zacht on Nov 05, '04 12:53:02PM
Eek! What about force quitting? There's a keyboard command that might be able to force quit full-screen apps: command-shift-option-escape. See http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031028194206991 for info. Apparently it's not 100 percent reliable, but if it works for the Saft kiosk mode....?

Saft - Add very useful features to Safari
Authored by: dwdavey on Nov 05, '04 01:03:56PM

the thing with kiosk mode is you have the ability to set safari to launch in kiosk mode on start. so everytime you launch safari, there you are.. in kiosk. no way to turn that off even if you were able to force quit (which you can't.. system key commands are disable for security) also, you can set it so that safari starts on boot in kiosk mode. you can't force quit because it disables the quit command.. the force quit command.. and various other keyboard shortcuts. basically it takes over the machine. that's fine if you're going to be using it for, well, kiosks.. but there's no need to turn it on for your personal computer use. :)
