Command-Tab has by far one of the coolest Mac OS X tricks I’ve seen in a long time. The instructions are succinct, so I’ll copy them verbatim.
- Set your Dock’s minimize effect to “Genie” (or the hidden “Suck” choice, using TinkerTool).
- Open Applications → Utilities → Terminal.
- Type killall Dock but don’t hit Return just yet.
- Open Safari and load a decent sized website, like Digg.
- Switch back to the Terminal, keeping the Safari window in view.
- Shift-click the yellow minimize button of the Safari window, and hit Return to execute the command while the window is busy morphing.
Boom, that window stops moving mid-animation. Here’s the fun part: it still responds perfectly normally, save the window being all distorted. Amaze your friends.
You can just shift-click, and the minimize animation will slow, really slow. And then you can have all the time you like to hit enter!
That's classic. I wish I worked in a Mac environment so I could annoy my workmates with that.
