Keeping with the subject of windows, today I'll teach you a couple ways to make yours a bit more manageable. First, let's talk about hiding windows. Many users are well aware of using "Command" plus "H" in order to hide all the windows in the current application. However, there's also "Command" "Option" "H," which will make the windows of all other applications disappear instead. Also be sure to note that "Command" "H" can be done in the Application Switcher referred to yesterday.
Wait, there's more! What happens when it just isn't enough to hide all your windows; what if you want them all closed? Well, it just so happens that "Option" clicking the 'X' bubble, or any of the other bubbles (the buttons in the upper left hand corner of all windows) applies that action to all the windows in a given application. So if, for instance, you had 200 Finder windows open, "Option" clicking the 'X' bubble would close them all. Or if you're a keyboard guy like me, "Command" "Option" "W" will get you the same result.
That's it for windows, tomorrow I'll discuss the Terminal, and how to make some sense of it.
