If you're looking for other nice and useful little Mac keyboard command utilities, I implemented shake to undo: http://www.natestedman.com/post/shake-to-undo-for-mac-os-x/

So you didn't want to fill out a form on the developer's website but you had plenty of time to come here and complain? Seriously, a minute of typing your info is too much trouble?
I'm with you: I was wondering the same thing. Some people are downvoting your reasonable and polite comment voicing a sensible concern. This sort of downvoting activity directed towards quality comments are ruining this site by trying to create a popularity club where conformity to groupthink is enforced through the threat of downvotes. As far as App store goes, many programs will never be available on the app store.…

Spaces was a failed experiment, at least in Apple's eyes. At this point it would be wise to either find a 3rd-party replacement or embrace Mission Control Spaces, otherwise you'll just be stuck in time with everything else slowly growing obsolete on you.
Is there anything that runs on Lion and has similar capabilities to Spaces? Right now I have 9 spaces and each is at most 2 switches away from all of the others. My impression is that if I install Lion and set up 9 spaces, the outermost ones will be 8 switches apart from each other.
For quick navigation of 9 spaces with assigned apps it's probably best to just use Ctrl-1 thru 9. Spacial navigation is pretty much dead between full screen apps and auto-rearranging of the spaces (well, you can turn that off I guess), so I decided to embrace Apple's new idea and see how it works.
First of all, I hated Exposé and never used it. Mission control actually is useful since I can see the apps and organize them quickly (much quicker than with SL Spaces in fact). With the horizontal spaces, navigating them quickly is less confusing, and with auto-arranging spaces it makes switching back and forth between arbitrary spaces a lot easier, sort of like Command-Tabbing.
It's a huge change from Spaces, but for me (using 4-6 SL Spaces) never reached a level of perfection due to the small bugs and unpredictabilities in the system. I'm going to give Apple the benefit of the doubt and see if they can come up with something better. So far there are some real nice touches to Lion window and space management.
