In my opinion, Apple has really screwed up with their recommendations for cmd-M = minimize to dock and cmd-H = hide application. I agree, they should have chosen more obscure shortcuts, laden with modifiers, to accomplish these tasks. Not only do I personally rarely ever have a desire to invoke the functions, but the "vanilla" keycodes are already a scarce resouce for app developers (there are only 26 letters of the roman alphabet after all, many of which are in use for ubiquitous functions like open, save, close, etc). Personally, in applications I'm developing (http://www.doggiebox.com) I am deliberately ignoring the HIG in this regard. I will assign the main menu keys as I see fit, and I will only consider rearranging them to support Apple's weird ideals if I start to receive user feedback on the subject. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
