I know there are many other ways of switching windows in Mac OS, but as a windows user for such a long time I just can’t help my hand naturally hitting Command+Tab when I want to switch windows. This is the “killer app” for this shortcut )Ĭommand+Tab (Alt+Tab in Windows) is a bit of a different story for me though and I am not won over with this one yet.
It is extremely quick to just move your hand between the Q and Tab keys while holding down Command to quickly quit many applications.
The key combinations are very easy to press with one hand (something Alt+F4 couldn’t ever be accused of :) and are extremely natural once learned so that using them takes almost zero cognitive power between the thought to close an application or a window and the window closing.Ctrl+W is implemented in some Windows applications but so inconsistently that I forget it works. The consistency with which these key combinations are implemented within applications.I think the shift in my attitude towards this is mainly for three reasons: Skip a few weeks on though and I really like the Mac model of quitting windows and applications.

I am sure I am not alone amongst the people new to Mac OS X and familiar with Windows but initially I didn’t like the Command+W (Mac OS X – Close Window) and Command+Q (Mac OS X – Quit Application) over Alt+F4 (Windows – Close Window or Application).
