6 irritating things about 10.6. Have they been fixed in LION?

[roadbloc]

Someone else has confirmed that the behavior is changing in Lion. At least Textedit and Preview are dying after you close their last window and switch to another App.

It is giving the illusion the App is closed. It won't really close until you run an App which requires a lot of resources.

The beauty of Resume.

I haven't used Witch in a long long time and even then only for a trial, however you can cycle through windows natively already by "Cmd+~".

you legend. been trying to figure this one out for months! !

2. Will programs die after I close their last window? I mean, yes, idle programs lurking on the dock are really fast to load, but lots of them hog the memory, slow the computer down, and make the original point moot.

Its called Apple-Q.

No, that shuts down the whole App. It's different than shutting down the App when I close its last window.



No, that switches windows within an App, not windows globally. Plus, it doesn't even work while I'm on this reply textbox in Chrome. Ok, I'll confess: I want the same behavior as the Windows task switcher



No, that's just like throwing an App to the trash with its prefs. Kexts, libraries, changes to system files, etc. are left behind.

Use Ubuntu

I recall there was a way to configure that in Snow Leo, in the keyboard preference I believe. But I can't do it in Lion. Has anyone found were to edit the shortcut?

EDIT: Found it in "Keyboard in Text input" section.

Is this possible in Lion? (Cycle between WINDOWS?)

Thanks!
