Can I change the order of applications in the command-tab switcher?

I recently replaced my old computer running 10.5 with one running 10.8. It's a small thing, but irritating: in 10.5, when I hid an application, it would be bumped to the back of the switcher list, but in 10.8, the list is purely chronological in order. For example, if I hide Chrome now, a single command-tab would bring me back to it, rather than to the most recent non-hidden application, which is what I'd prefer. Again, I realize it's a small thing, so if there's nothing I can do about it, oh well, but I figured I would check.
Thanks for any help!

Sorry there is no way to accomplish this.
The heads-up screen has no modifiable behavior other than it basic default for quick switching between apps.
Tab forward
Tilda backwards
mouse on any app

    how can I change the " new tab " homepage

    By default Firefox uses a blank page in a new tab. Something you installed changed that to I-PLAY. You need to figure out what changed that, and get rid of it. Start with this. <br />

  • Can't change the shortcut to switch between windows (^F4) to altTAB

    Hi,
    I would like to switch between windows (not applications) by hitting ALT and TAB (same as Windows) instead of ^F4. In the preferences, I tried to change the shortcut labelled something like "Move focus to the active (or next) window". Unfortunately, it always complains that this shortcut is already used by another operation. However I can't find which operation uses ALT+TAB ?!
    How should I do ?
    Thanks in advance,

    Interesting. I can't use the TAB key in ANY custom shortcuts. it gives an error sound (but no message) when i try. I tried it on 3 different computers. I suggest you try a different shortcut like alt+`. It's very close to alt+tab.

  • How can I change the order SubVIs are loaded?

    Hello,
    I have a SubVI which needs to be called before any other SubVI. I tried to put that SubVI in another VI which again calls a second SubVI with the rest of the application:
    MainSubVI  --- call ---> 'Need-to-be-loaded-first-VI'
                |
                '- call ---> 'Start-VI'
                                 |
                                 '- call ---> 'Rest-of-application-VI'
    The problem is that there is one SubVI - saved in 'Rest-of-application-VI' - which is loaded before the 'Need-to-be-loaded-first-VI'.
    How can I change the order SubVIs are loaded?
    Thanks,
    Johannes

    Hai,
    If you wish to load the VI into memory or block the VI from loading the memory immediatly after the parent VI loads....Use "Call by referance Node" with call setup as "Reload for each call" which will load theVI into memory only when the VI is supposed to execute.
    With regards,
    JK

  • Lion has changed the order in which Finder items are sorted in Icon View; Acc vs. Desc.  How can you change this order?

    The order in which items are sorted has changed in Lion and I can't figure out how, or if, it can be changed.  Previously in Snow Leopard if you sorted by 'Date' in Icon View, your icons would be arranged from oldest to newest.  The same was true for 'Kind' and all the order sort options.  In Kind my *.zip files were positioned last.
    Now in Lion, the order is reversed.  Newest and Zips on top... the accending vs. decnding order has been changed.  How can I change the sort order in Icon View?

    I managed to fix the reverse order issue by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile in the user library folder. I did have to use terminal to delete the files and then re-launch finder from the force quit window. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
    Hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select Library.
    Navigate to the Preferences.
    Find the com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile and delete it.
    Open Terminal (Application/Utilites)
    In Terminal type in sudo rm (include a space after the rm and do not hit enter)
    Drag com.apple.finder.plist file to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to the file)
    Press return.
    Type in your password and hit return. (The cursor will not move when you type in your password)
    From the Apple menu, select force quit.
    Highlight finder and select re-launch.
    Be careful when using Terminal. There is no undo button and you can accidentally delete important files.
    I hope this helps.

  • FAQ: UI - How can I change the color theme, size of the text, or turn off the application frame?

    CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
    The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
    you can change it back in the appearance area. There are 4 default color themes.
    Mac          Photoshop > Preferences > Interface
    Windows   Edit > Preferences > Interface
    CONFIGURING LARGER FONTS:
    For those who need larger fonts, you can also change the UI Font Size down in the type area.
    Be sure to restart Photoshop to see the changes.
    TURNING OFF THE APPLICATION FRAME
    CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Window>Application Frame in the main meu and uncheck this

    Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:

  • Can I change the order of lines in a drop-down menu?

    Can I change the order of items on a drop-down menu? Specifically, the "open" menu that comes up when I right-click on a link.
    Putting "open in new tab" on top of "in new window" makes sense, of course, since it is used more often. But I do a lot of surfing, and had the old position in muscle memory. Re-training my brain to click on the first line instead of the second is taking a long time, and makes me grumbly.
    I'd love to put it back to the old order. Can I? and, if so, how do I do it? (Please give me detailed instructions, IOW, please assume I am a complete simpleton, because sometimes I am.)
    HP G62 w/ Win 7 home premium. If it matters, it's 64-bit.
    And my old desktop, which has, yech, Vista. (I haven't upgraded it to F4 yet.)
    Thanks,
    Roo

    Please provide a screenshot of that issue. <br />

  • How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

    Hi.  I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail.  However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing.  How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks?  Thank you.
    janiekhi

    Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply.  When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this.  My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password.  I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect.  This is so frustrating!  I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved.  Thanks again.

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

  • How can I change the order of photos within an event?

    iPhoto o9 won't let me change the order of photos within a single event- really annoying! I tried to view photos then click manual sort- but when I look back at the event it is not in the right order. what's wrong? Or can I even do this?

    Yes you can do that - IF you go through and assign titles to every photo
    You also can change the date/time on photo and iPhoto will then sort them in the new order
    And you could assign unique key words to each photo such that the sort order is what you want and sort by key word
    But you can not change the order in the sense most people mean - grab a photo and move it to a new location in an event
    So yes you are right

  • Can we change the doc date in a purchase order ?

    can we change the doc date in a purchase order ?
    i have created PO with wrong dates but now want to correct it, but its not letting me do it ...why ?

    I don't think DOC DATES can be changed. You can only change the posting dates of the Goods receipt and Invoice documents as that is what matter for your financial consolidation.

  • Urgent- Can we change the data in an Approved sales order

    Hi Experts,
    Can we change the data once the Sales Order is Approved. If not Is there a solution to be done through SDK or B1 itself. Any help will be greatly apprieciated.
    Thanks
    John

    Hi John,
    Unfortunately it cannot be done. Because if you are not able do it manually or by User Interface then it will not be possible by SDK or any other approach,as far as I Know.
    Meanwhile you can create a duplicate of the approved document. Make changes to that. And Close or Cancel the approved one.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks & Regards
