[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 86128, member: 5184"] 1) Yes, it needs a little time to get used to the fact that closing a window doesn't necessarily close an application, though that depends, because some apps do close when closing the main window. I guess your Mac OS7 times are long gone, because that behaviour is typical for Mac OS7, 8, 9 and X. I never worked on anything earlier than 7... You already pointed out 2 ways to close an app: via the menu and command+Q. Another one would be ctrl-click (or right-click) on the app's icon in the dock and choose Quit. That's still 2 clicks though. Can't think of any 1-click way to close an app that doesn't close when the window is closed. 2) Yes, ctrl-click is exactly the same than right click. Just hook up a 2-button-scroll-mouse, and you'll see that it works perfectly, including the scroll wheel for scrolling in a window. And that's WITHOUT any driver or the Windows-typical sequence ("found new device", "installing driver for new device" blabla). Enjoy your Mac experience! :cool: [/QUOTE]
