I use the command-tab 50% and window click 50% depending on the work. When using Timbuktu (most every day) pressing the command key => right click on the remote computer in addition to app switching, which leaves the remote user unable to use the mouse until I go back to Timbuktu and press escape, so I need to F11 and click, or click outside the window, then use tab. I also use the direct window click to bring specific windows into view rather than all windows in that app. For instance, drag and drop hilited text in BBEdit in to an Excel spreadsheet. Sure is nice to have a flexible work environment. That's one of the real positives about Rev. I use a Mac G5, three monitors, and many unrelated tasks each day.
