Hello, I am being driven nuts by OS X's command-tab behaviour. It works in a
near-random fashion. Is there any way to turn off the tab to previously
accessed application?

I have a number of apps open at once and TRY to use command-tab to switch
between them but with very little success (if I have to go to something more
than the previously used app I use the mouse -- it's faster when you're
running 10+ apps). There is no logical relationship to the currently open
app after the first command-tab (it's all relative to the previously used
app) and that's what I need (it's not logical to go relatively to the
previously used app since you (a) have to remember what the previous app was
and focus on it, and then (b) have to figure out where the desired app is
relative to that new focus -- not sensible or efficient).

This is a pretty annoying GUI fault which Apple will probably fix in the
long term but in the short term I need a kludge to get around it.

Anyone know of a way to reset the dock (for some reason it seems to me that
earlier versions of OS X didn't do this, but, then again, Apple isn't known
for dealing with OS X problems overly quickly).

PS Is there a windows-like dock extender available (so that you can have a
list of the open apps appear in the middle of the screen with text rather
than at the edge with just icons)?

Eric.
