  If an application has hung, command Q won't work. Happens to me with Mail sometimes. Also, all the helpful suggestions to use Command Q to close the Force Quit window will work - thanks - unless you first command tab to another app. At that point, the Force Quite window becomes inaccessible from the keyboard (it has no entry in the command tab app switcher), even though the window itself is still sitting on top blocking view of other windows. At that point, I believe, it's back to the mouse. Edit: Thanks arrrrg, just noticed your solution - alt command esc to reactivate the Force Quit window, then command W.
