Apple Tiger Tips: Quit Programs from the Application Switcher

Seasoned users of Tiger will be familar with Application Switcher, the utility that pops onto your screen when you press the Apple (Command) key and tab. But did you know that you can quit applications directly from it?

To perform this trick, simply launch Application Switcher, highlight the application you wish to kill (by pressing tab repeatedly, or by pointing to it with the mouse). Once it is highlighted, simply press Q and the application will disappear to silicon heaven.
