Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts

Are there shortcuts for user accounts? Let's say you wanna switch between accounts and you don't wanna enter password to switch over every time. Can you do it in an easier way? I know I've seen someone doing some crazy movements with his keyboard on youtube but I can't find the video. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Thanks,

Since I've known about FUS from the beginning, & decided then it
was not worth my effort (even as single user with multiple accounts)
the familiarity of it need not be rubbed in my face.

The other links to run scripts and other angles that would work
beneath the GUI would be an answer; if one could write that in
a way as to have it run from the SuperUser level so all accounts
would stay logged in and none of that logging-in per account
would be required.

Of course, If none of the accounts have a password (?) they
say the FUS just works fine. But then, there is no outside level
of security; unless other methods are employed to isolate the
machine and its system from possible predation.

And since keyboard shortcuts don't work at the level, consider
your own reference to excreted matters as evidence of your
mental maturity, not mine.

Stick to the topic.
Good luck & good bye.

And the post was reported, since potash appears to
think a pottymouth will get someone to do his home
work for him.

If the OS were Leopard 10.5, there is a good deal
about securing the system and how to keep it so;
and launching open multiple users is against the
whole idea of modern security on a networked Mac.

A significant security setup document for the later OS is available here, 3.4MB:

Thanks for being here!

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
