Snow Leopard 10.5.5 is released
Aug 23

Hi it`s me again,

I just found out that if you press Shift and apple menu, the force quit option is changing to

force quit +application name which is selected.

So if Firefox is not responding and you press shift+ open apple menu, you will see an option Force Firefox Quit or something like this. You can also try, but i`m sure this was mentioned before, to hit ALT+ Apple Menu and you will see other helpful Commands.

I hope this helped anyone.

Bye

    That is an awesome tip.
    Thanks

    This option is also available if you right-click on the taskbar icon. (Which is handy for those times when the application won’t even focus.)

    Nice tip. I hadn’t noticed that.

    I do notice that there is a keystroke equivalent that doesn’t seem to work. To test, I launched Preview. Shift key altered the Apple menu per your tip and the keystroke equivalent is listed as Command-Shift-Option-Esc. Pressing these keys had no effect. Any ideas here?
