p.s. some apps take longer to quit than others. Some shut down as soon as I hit “q”, some take a while. If your apps aren’t closing immediately, try waiting to see if they’re in the shutdown process. Especially high RAM consuming apps like Photoshop.

Brilliant! This is working for me in OS X Lion 10.7.2

Thanks so much for this tip! I switch from “desktop” mode to “on the go” mode with my laptop pretty frequently, and this makes the transition a whole lot faster.

Hi,
It would be a fantastic tip if it was working!
It is not the case with my PowerBook 15″ DVD-DL running 10.4.8
