Not sure if there is an Applescript or not Chris, but not being able to close all apps with one command in lion can get tedious.
Heh...thought about using that on my PC a few times, but never my beloved mac.
Thnx t, thats a little better then closing each app separately...its such a simple little request...howabout it developers, we have enough angry birds and Evernotes.If you don't find an app you can just force quit everything at once
killall dock
That's a lot of effort though to close all applications; it would probably be quicker, and certainly easier, to Cmd-Q each application.
Cmd-Space Bar (Spotlight launches)
The simplest solution is the best solution.i don't understand... what's wrong with unchecking the box?
I get that it's an extra click (or spacebar), and that's a HUGE pain in the ass, but I fail to see how installing an app or invoking the terminal would simplify it. That being said, it hasn't stopped someone from making an Applescript:
I don't have Lion installed on any of my Mac's yet, I wasn't aware of this feature.i don't understand... what's wrong with unchecking the box?

But that's about 18 keystrokes, where as if you were to press cmd-tab and keep cmd held, you could just keep tapping Q to quit all apps.
We could argue about this until we're both blue in the face. You like your method, which is fine and I like my method. I'll only use it if I want to quit everything quickly and depending on how many apps you actually have open you could be Cmd-Q'ing for quite some time.
I wasn't aware of that either, best solution so far, thanks hippo...i don't understand... what's wrong with unchecking the box?

That's a good point; as you said, we each have our own methods and I will never have more than five or six applications open at the same time, which is probably why your method just seems cumbersome and inconvenient.
Cumbersome and Inconvenient? In your opinion. The amount of apps open on anyone's computer is irrelevant, whether it be 6 or 30. Pressing Cmd-Q over and over again is repetitive and tedious, in my opinion.
