AppleWindows is a freeware utility that makes the application menu (up in
the right hand corner) much more usable. It:
- lets you switch between applications with a modifier+left and right arrow
- lets you switch between open windows of an application with a modifier+up
and down arrow
- makes the application menu heirarchical so you can jump between open windows
of an application
- makes different areas of your screen hotspots to pop up the application menu.
(I set the outside of my screen as the hot spot so get the application
menu by
just moving the mouse pointer to the edge and clicking)
- lets you set popup command keys for the application menu to popup anywhere
with a mouse-click (I use ctl+shift+click)
It was written back in 1993 by Hiro Yamamoyo
works like a charm even up to OS 8.1. Unfortunately, it was so well written
it hasn't been updated since then and so has dropped off of the Info-Mac
lists (althugh still on the UMich archives).
I'm resubmitting this with the permission of the author; I'm just a very
satisfied user.
