Right-click background apps without switching
This is nothing new. I have been showing customers at the Apple store how useful it is to be able to do this for years. You can also do it by control-clicking or clicking and holding down an extra second. Welcome to the world.

I'm not sure you understood him correctly. Ctrl+clicking and clicking and holding does not produce the results he is explaining. Either of the two bring the background application into focus. If you have a trick to keep the background application being clicked on in the background, please share it.

I got the Control-hold to work with Mail, but only in the list of messages, not the actual message viewer. It didn't work at all in Safari or Finder.
depends on the application
Right-clicking some background applications doesn't work. For example, if I have Mozilla Thunderbird 2 (email client) in the background, right-clicking on it doesn't bring up a context-sensitive menu. It brings the entire application to the foreground. Right-clicking on this now foreground application does bring up the CSM. In this case, I think it happens because Thunderbird uses its own UI widgets instead of the ones provided by the OS. That's why the CSM under most applications in Mac OS X 10.5 have the new rounded look, those in Thunderbird have an old rectangular look. The same goes for Mozilla Firefox 2. |
