Not 10.4 Only!
Authored by: zane on May 31, '05 07:46:05PM
Indeed. The 'Option' key has always played a part in modifying menu behaviors for as long as I can remember.

Sometime last year when I discovered the 'Close All Windows/Other Tabs' option in Safari, I submitted it as a hint and was subsequently rejected with the reply "it is 'just' a documented menu-item hint, which we don't generally run", from Rob.

I guess the rules have changed. ;)

You are right; option key has had the affect of providing an optional action ever since it appeared on the keyboard, but a) I'd never seen window cascade before - may not be new to tiger, but still faily new - and b) lots of people here have now been scurrying around their Mac UIs looking for other uses of it, so that can't be a bad thing.
