Force Quit Front App.
From MacOS Hints
(I didn’t know this one!)
Here’s another way to Force Quit an application:
- Click the Apple Menu
- Hold Shift, and notice that the ‘Force Quit…’ menu item has changed to ‘Force Quit [frontmost app name].’
- Select ‘Force Quit [frontmost app name]‘ to force quit the Application.
This method allows you to Force Quit (Relaunch) the Finder without
opening the Force Quit application window or using the Finder’s Dock
menu.
