I promised I’d give you more of an ego boost, didn’t I? You all are such smart, funny people, and I’m now virtually hugging each one of you. Which means I have to kill-wait a minute. You all know my secrets, on this at least.
MAC COMMAND TAB BRING TO FRONT WINDOWS
You’ll still have to use the menus or the program’s Dock icon to access your other windows if you’ve got them. If you have Mail’s Message Viewer and a couple of draft e-mails minimized, for example, using this will only bring back the Message Viewer. The only downside is that this trick won’t bring back all minimized windows if you have more than one. Word routinely hides windows from me, but there is a 'bring all windows to front' option in the 'window' menu at top. command+0 or command+1 brings up the main window in various programs. Looky here-iCal’s window de-minimizes itself without any further interaction from you, just by adding on Option before you let the Command key go. If you're cycling through programs with command-tab, it is a feature that an application will be in focus without changing the hidden state of the windows. Hit Command-Tab to bring up the Application Switcher, tap Tab until you reach iCal’s icon, add then add the Option key to the Command key you’re already holding and release. If you then use Command-Tab to switch to iCal, its window won’t be automatically brought back up. In Snow Leopard, that would mean that it shoots down onto the right side of your Dock in Lion, it’ll get swallowed up into iCal’s application icon. So let’s say you’ve minimized iCal’s window.

Hold down Command and keep tapping Tab to choose which program you want from the Application Switcher, and release Command to select the highlighted option. So if you use Command-Tab all of the time, you’re used to its wonderfulness. Wanna know more? Not sure what the heck I’m talking about? Want me to compliment you again? Then read on. Well, today we’ll be going over using Command-Tab to de-minimize windows for maximum application happiness.
