Was wondering if anyone found a way to modify the default application switcher in OS X (command+tab)? I searched through Help and such, but could not find any way to modify it or turn it off even though it was available in OS 9.

Quark uses the same shortcut keys (command+tab) to move up and down the toolbar and I have found it very useful and miss using it now that I am using OS X.

I have QuicKeys X installed so I suppose I could create a QuicKeys shortcut for it but am not exactly sure how to proceed.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the default OS X application switch shortcut or create a different one for the Quark toolbar through QuicKeys (or perhaps Applescript)?

Much appreciation.

You can't. Gone with the application switcher! Your scroll toolbar commands are not vanished from existance however, you can still scroll through the Quark toolbard by using Command +Shift +Tab and Command +Option +Shift +Tab.

i just needed to post and say that quark v.5 is the biggest piece of shiit i've ever purchased. nothing about the app makes it worth the money.

Hmmm, a bit of a blanket statement there but you certainly have my curiousity aroused.

We are still using 4.x here at work but will be migrating to 5 relatively soon after it becomes an X-naitive app.

What was your opinion of 4.x? I can understand that 5 still not being an X-naitive app can be disconcerting but what in particular earns such harsh criticism?

quark 4.x was adequate for the time it was released.

so why rip on 5.x? well, the new "features" are of no use to a print art director / designer. the big changes come in the form of web design, which, if you have been following the industry, are far behind what macromedia offers. the primary users of quark are print folk, not web designers. so why would quark spend their time and money developing for the web rather than beefing up the print side? as a long time quark user i would have preferred seeing multiple undos, support for native photoshop files, etc.

by the way, 5.x will never run native in os x. the next version, aledgedly scheduled to hit the shelves in six months, will be 6.x. by then some of their base will have migrated to indesign.

heheheh yeah I spent 20 minutes convincing my penny pinching boss OUT of Quark 5 and OUT of indesign and INTO Potatoshop 7. God I hate being out of date.
