I also remember that there was a way to hit Cmd+Tab and switch programs by hitting the left and right arrows. But I can't remember what it was.

A very quick way to end everything in a hurry. But for going from app to app ... I think Expose is faster for that one. I have the middle (scroll) button on my mouse set to "All Windows". That way I can see everything that's on screen and just click where I want to go. (Never been a real multiple-desktop person, don't like it in Linux and don't use Spaces on Leopard either.)

Especially being able to quit applications with Q. Thanks for the guide 50 Leaves! Look forward to the next parts!

if you just hit cmd ~ while in a app with multiple windows it switches between them, if you hit cmd tab first, it reverses the order between apps.

win win, as they used to say

While Spaces has made some progress towards simplifying the virtual desktop concept, it is still something that is liable to confuse more than aid beginning to intermediate users. Expose is more straight forward - a sort of visual Command + ~ that is intuitive (and an also be used in conjunction with Spaces).
