The shortcut I probably use the most is Command-` (that would be a backtick), which lets you cycle through the windows of the current application. The ` character is right below the &quot;Escape&quot; key, and Command-Esc turns on Front Row which blacks the screen and pulls up the media menu and takes at least 10 seconds to get out of. \u00a0Really throws off my groove.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> The Solution is to turn off the shortcut. It is easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1. Open the Keyboard &amp; Mouse panel in System Preferences,<\/p>\n<p>2. Go to Keyboard Shortcuts<\/p>\n<p>3. Uncheck Front Row. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Done. \u00a0No more screen going dark and you wondering what is going on. \u00a0The remote still works great to launch Front Row should you need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Any other Mac problem or tip you want to know about?
