What's New
Version 2.7 (b2):
- added Exposé for app windows. In the app switcher, press the up or down arrow keys to activate Exposé for that app. Once inside Exposé you can choose to select a window or press the tab key to view the next app's windows. The up and down arrows used to bring up the app's contextual menu. The key "m" still does so.
- now pressing the number "1" in the switcher window selects the Finder (or Path Finder if running)
- enabled the ability to mark the Finder to quit via pressing 'q'. The Finder can then be relaunched from the Dock if desired.
- when the switching key is held down, LiteSwitch will now stop at the last app on the list until the key is pressed again. This should make it easier to jump to either end.

Please don't give this company your money, even if the app is 100% perfect. Do a little research on the company and how they have hurt other projects online, such as the great MacPorts project.
I consider them scammers, liars, and unethical jerks. They should be blacklisted from MacUpdate, as no company that behaves like this should be listed.

Especially annoying since I finally spent time evaluating the options so that I could make the *right* choice. Just like I thought, it's not worth the time.
So I will buy one of the others. The rating is strictly because of the problem downloading. My experience with the actual application has been flawless with no issues.

Just thought I'd mention that the scrollwheel issue still hasn't been fixed (scrollwheel is still scrolling whatever window is under the mouse pointer when scrolling through open apps -- which it shouldn't be doing while the app switcher is open).

I simply cannot just use Cmd-Tab, then up-or-down arrow key to activate the new Snow Leopard Exposé Application Window mode. Instead the Contextual Menu will be displayed for that App. I wish they can put some enhancement in it to either allow this new Snow Leopard behavior, or allow us to choose which behavior we want.

BTW I have no comment yet about the app itself, it's one of a few I'm checking out ... just thought it was useful for people to know the link works; also, I would have responded sooner to your post except that you ddn't "reply" to mine, so I didn't know there was a new comment here.

Oops, my mistake ... wrote my reply hastily and checked only the first page, I am getting 404 errors as well.

I cannot access it via liteswitch, right?
Thank you in advance.

This makes LiteSwitchX useless. Even the original Cmd-Tab facility can deal with multiple windows - and looks much better.

BUT Kantorde this doesn't make LiteSwitch useless --or any different from the Cmd Tab switcher as far as I can see. Sure you can go to Exposé from Cmd-Tab, but if you have multiple app windows open, Exposé or Witch is probably your best bet anyway. As an application switcher, I find LiteSwitch to be the best by far.

It would be great to see an update.
Switching away from Screen Sharing using command+tab in LiteSwitch X, ends up "leaving" the command key "pressed" in Screen Sharing: any further clicks behave like command+clicks.
Disabling LiteSwitch X solves the issue.

Too bad Proteron is gone and there is no fix to this.
