Salute... Simply press control-command-delete, and then return, and your screen saver is invoked. If you have turned on locking of your screen saver, you won't be allowed back in until you type in your correct password. Salute simply activates the screen saver or login window.
What's New
Version 2.1:
- Fast user switch to the Login Window. Instead of activating the screen saver, you can have Salute switch to the Login Window. This doesn't log you out, and doesn't require that you turn on fast user switching. Also, the option to exit to login window during sleep and timeout after 5 minutes.
Requirements
Intel/PPC, Mac OS X 10.5 or later

One thing that might help, especially for windows users coming to the Mac. On Windows, you trigger the equivalent dialog with the forward delete key (next to "end"), not the backwards delete key. It would be nice if Salute took either combination.
I agree with the other suggestions for having key combos for the other buttons.

Can you make this put Mac to Sleep?
How about entering a letter to invoke specific command?
cANCEL, tERMINAL, mONITOR, sCREENSAVER, SLEEp, SHUTdOWN, rESTART
Maybe a different app?
Anyway, Thanx
I can't help feel a trifle more motivated to learn more keyboard shortcuts, now that I've had my complacency 'adjusted'. ;-)
