cheers Matt, i will look into this as i have installed the Pulltab
'haxie' to get rid of the command-tab shortcut altogether as it
interferes with application shortcuts... changing to opt+tab would be
preferable

Hi Greg,
In addition to the advice from Shay and Martin, might I also suggest
you take a look at a shareware app called "App Switcher" (check
versiontracker). I use it as part of my reassignment of the
application-shifting key combo from Command-Tab to Opt-Tab. A neat
extra feature of this app is that it has a preference you can select to
"Keep applications' windows in same layer (like MacOS9)". If selected,
this option will bring all windows of an application to the front upon
switching ala pre OSX versions of the Mac operating system. If you can
live with changing your application shifting key combo to either
opt+tab or ctrl+tab (currently the only options available in version
0.9.8 of this app) then this might be one solution worth considering.
Regards, Matt.

Hi All, looking for a way to make the menu item "Bring All to Front"
a
key command, especially in the finder, but hopefully one that would
apply to any currently active App.
Searching Mac Help, Apple support & Google turned up ZERO, which
surprised me for such an much-used function!
Command-Tab (or command-shift-tab) until the Finder or whatever App
you want to 'bring all to front' is highlighted in the dock.
thanks Shay, but perhaps i should clarify:
running several applications, i might wanna switch to the finder to
drag a file onto a relevant application/document, but when i switch to
the finder, the windows/documents of various application remain in
front of open finder windows, which i want to drag files from. (so I
then hide all applications, switch back to the original app to show
it,
then switch back to the finder to perfom the task)
This might sound petty, but in programs like golive & photoshop i am
constantly moving between finder & the app to add files. (In OS 9, as
soon as you change to the finder, all windows come to the front)
