The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): "11. I'd like to also mention, for newbies, a key-command I use all the frickin' time: Command-tab, which switches between open applications. Holding this combo and pressing tab again will take you to the next open app in the list. Command-~(tilde) will toggle through in reverse order. Also, to hayssam: I use Butler's fast user switching and key-command functionality to perform switching to the login window. I don't know of a way to key-command a switch to a particular user, but I switch out to the login window all the time and Butler works nicely for this. If you don't feel like figuring Butler out (it does a whole lot more than Fast User Switching), there's a little app called WinSwitch that does FUS, and only FUS. Both are donationware.
