shortcut to open safari wherever you are?

Would suggest system preferences>keyboard>Keyboard shortcuts, then select 'applications' in the left pane, click on the '+' and choose safari and a key sequence. I have not tried this to duplicate but think should work. Do post back if it helps.

Yes, that is for something else. Guess there are some third party utilities that could help. But why would you not simply use the dock. Or maybe I am missing something here.

If safari is already open the

command - tab

You might consider a wee app like *_ LaunchBar_* . This can be used to - among a great many other things - switch between apps, launch apps and open files etc etc etc. It's the first app I install on any Mac I use. A simple command-space (in my case, but it is configurable) type three letters at most -saf and hit return. I'm in Safari. Best of all it learns... next time I'll only have to type sa...

Get yourself a copy of [Quicksilver|http://www.blacktree.com>. Then, you just press control-space and then start typing s-a-f... hit return when Safari's icon appears. Same thing with any other app, plus there are all kinds of other things you can do with it.

I'm not saying it's better than LaunchBar, only that I've used it for several years now and couldn't live without it.

Exactly how I feel about LaunchBar! I wandered over from QS several years ago when one version or other of QS was a bit crash prone on my Mac at the time. I looked around, found LaunchBar and never looked back. (I'm quite sure whatever issue was giving me grief on QS is long since fixed.)

Just wanted to add another recommendation for Quicksilver. I'm not saying it's better than LaunchBar, only that I've used it for several years now and couldn't live without it.
