So I borrowed the code from site and produced my own User Switcher app. Now my brother-in-law is an OK Mac user, but asking him to open Terminal and type in commands would be a big step backwards (not to mention take longer). A little Google-ing brought me to a article where they wrote a little applescript app to do FUS from the Terminal application. Although I think there could be room in the OS shortcuts for FUS, it’s not and that’s not as much fun. In addition, there are keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight, Exposé, Dashboard, and other Operating System-ish commands. Keyboard shortcuts are generally available for accessing menu items of the current window. Turns out, there isn’t a built in keyboard shortcut for Fast User Switching (FUS). If that was all there was to it, it wouldn’t be worth blogging about. Being ever the optimist, I told him I was sure there was and I would look into it. He and his wife share their iMac and he wondered if there is a way to do it without the extra mouse clicks. UPDATE: A more recent article explains a new easy way to create a keyboard shortcut for Fast User Switching in OSX.Ī few days ago my brother-in-law asked me if there was a Apple Keyboard shortcut for fast user switching.
