Closing windows in Expose using key press (or why does apple-W not work?)

I often end up with lots of Safari windows open & need to prune them down. (Yes I use tabbed browsing too .
So I thought I'd use Expose, see the windows I needed to close, select the one I wanted to close and hit apple-W which works fine to close a window when not in Expose. However for me it doesn't work in expose (though its fine when not in expose).
This leads to a rather slow process of going into expose, selecting the window you want to close, coming out of expose, then hitting apple-W to close that window, then going back to expose.
I'd much rather just go into expose, hover over the window I want to close (or use cursor keys to pick the right one) and hit apple-W; then I can close a few windows without having to leave expose.
Has anyone ever figured out a way to get apple-W - or any key press at all - to close the currently selected window in expose?
BTW I know you can quit an application in Expose; which is great. However in this case I want to close just a selected window in expose (e.g. a particular safari window), not the whole application.

You have a great idea. But it isn't supported. Yet.

  • Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

    I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

    Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
    Format the partition as NTFS.

  • Why does animated .gif not work with windows?

    I have created an animated .gif to place in a powerpoint presentation, but when I sent it to my client who used a windows computer, it does not work. When I try to open the .gif in my windows 98 virtual machine, it says it has errors.
    I created it in photoshop CC using the timeline and saving it with "save for web".

    AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!  Stupid Powerpoint corrupted the files when it "packaged" them
    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
    It is very difficult to figure out what my client is doing on his end.
    It won't let me mark you both as correct.

  • Why does Photoshop CC not work on my copy of Windows 7?

    I installed Photoshop CC from the Creative Cloud app on my Windows 7 machine.  The other apps in Creative Cloud seem to work OK, but Photoshop locks up from the splash screen.  Dead, no response to keyboard or mouse, I must use Task Manager to close Photoshop.  This is very disappointing.  Photoshop was the ONE app in Creative Cloud that I really need to work.  What is the solution? 

    update your graphics card driver.
    restart your computer.
    open your cc app, sign out and then back in.
    retest ps cc.

  • Why does "enclosing folder" not work from the SEARCH window?

    I do a command+F search.
    Command+2 to view as list rather than groups
    and then sort by date modified.
    When I find the file/folder I want I'd really like to do a command+[up arrow] which in the GO menu is a valid command.
    Why does this work in finder windows but not in the search window?
    I'm not using spotlight, just the good old command+F
    This used to work in Sherlock 1 [using command+E] and when you opened the enclosing window, the file was already hi-lighted, faster to locate and saved mousing.

    You'll note that in the Go menu that command is grayed out meaning it's not active in the search results display.
    If you upgrad to Leopard then you can go to the Finder's View menu and select "Show Path Bar." The full path to any selected item in the Finder's window will be displayed in a path bar in the lower portion of the window. You can then double-click on any displayed folder to open a window on that folder.

  • Why does Home Sharing not work on iTunes 10.5.3 between a Windows PC and MacBook Pro?

    I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop which is my older laptop, consisting of all my music, apps and so on. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro (latest version) and would like to use Home Sharing to browse my music libraries and so on on there. However, I find that I am unable to do this, after several methods I have attempted in order to resolve this issue.
    The Home Sharing on the left column does not appear at all.
    I have upgraded iTunes on both laptops to the latest version yesterday, which I assume is iTunes version 10.5.3.
    I have turned off Home Sharing, and turned it on a few times.
    I use the same Apple ID to log in to Home Sharing.
    I named both playlists/music libraries to the same name - not sure if this is a way to 'fix' the problem but I saw it in a thread.
    I tried all the above methods, but to no avail. Home Sharing still does not work - in fact, it does not even appear on the left column; it disappears as soon as I turn on Home Sharing.
    Help is very muchly appreciated.
    Thank you very much!

    First, each Library should have a unique name, not the same name.
    Now, I wrote an extensive how-to in another thread that explains Home Sharing, Library Sharing, how to turn them on and identify them and so on. See if it helps you with your problem.

  • Why does my .vi not work when used as a sub vi

    I have a vi that produces a picture on the front panel. Displayed in the picture are solid grey levels for testing. Two grey levels are chosen inside the vi and then the picture flickers betwen the two. When I run the vi by itself it runs wonderfully, but when I run it as a sub vi it does not work. Even when I just place the sub vi in the block diagram and connect all of the controls and indicators up it doesn't work.When I use the highlighter it shows that the control values go into the sub vi and the sub vi lights up, but there is nothing output from the sub vi to the wired indicators. When I open up the Block diagram of the original vi from which the sub vi came, and highlight it while running the subvi, it
    shows that it is working with information running to all of the indicators. If I start a new program with only the sub vi in the block diagram and all of the controls and indicators connected, should it not behave as the sub vi? I will attach the vi that I am using as a sub vi, and I welcome anyone to place it in the block diagram of a new vi, connect all of the controls and indicators up and see if it works. I know that there is something completely obviopus that I am missing, but I can't see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think the subVI is working just fine when called from the main. I think what you're expecting is an indicator on the main VI to update as the subVI runs. What you will see on the main front panel is just the last value that a subVI has. That is the intended behavior of subVIs and function calls in all other languages. If you want to to update a front panel indicator while a subVI runs, pass a reference to the indicator into the subVI and update that reference instead of the indicator on the subVI. The other way is via a global variable. I've attached a modified version of your porgram.

  • Why does diadem intellisense not work when using scriptinclude or for global object

    I have a script with a different classes in it (scripted 1).  When I create an object of a class in the script 1 intellisense works.  Intellisense is when you type name of the object created from a class it shows all the possible variables and functions contained in that object.  But when I write another script and use scriptinclude(scripted 1) the intellisense does not work.  I also tried a global object and intesllisense does not work.  Is there a way to get intellisense to work when using scriptinclude?  I am working with version 2012. 

    Here is more information on the issue.

  • Why does Digital Edition not work in desktop mode for WIndows 8?

    I have installed the most recent version of JAVA and then downloaded and installed Digital Editions.  I can open Digital Editions in desktop mode but when I select a book I cannot turn the page or move to a new page by any means.  The only thing that seems to work is to select a new page and then toggle between full screen and partial.

    I don't think ADE uses Java at all.
    I run it in desktop mode in WIndows 8 and it reads books and turns pages fine: either using the left-right arrow keys,
    or clicking on the forward/back buttons each side of the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0, and even though that isn't a bug for me it may be for you.
    Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Why does double-click not work for files of Firefox type under Windows 7 (Firefox 15.0.1)?

    If in the Windows Explorer of Windows 7 I double-click the name of a file that is mentioned as being a Firefox file by its file type symbol, it should be launched. But this doesn't happen. If I select "Open with" > Firefox" in the file's context menu, nothing happens. But if I select another browser, the file will be launched.

    Hi,
    You can try to right-click a file > '''Open with''' > '''Choose default program''' > '''Browse''' (disregard any existing entry) and select Firefox, and also enable (tick) '''Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'''.
