Close some 'mini windows' via the keyboard
Authored by: GaelicWizard on Jul 19, '05 01:27:52AM

The reason that these panels do not respond to Cmd-W, IIRC, is because they are *NOT* the frontmost window. Try clicking explicitly on the title bar once or twice and you'll find that it hightlights (i.e. becomes metal in Tiger). At this point, either ESC or Cmd-W should close it.

The idea is that an Inspector window is complementary to another window, not a window in itself. Hence, it does not receive focus when activated.

YMMV,
JP

That may be true for some cases, but it's definitely not true in the Info and View Options panels in the Finder.
