Beating the dock

[Colin Holgate]

You do know that it's not just a local version of the Dock? You can command-tab or shift-tab cycle through the apps, you can quit any one of them without having to switch to the app first. You can use the mouse to select which of the apps you're trying to switch to or quit.

The old advantage of HyperCard that you could switch between the different kinds of tools isn't needed in LC, because any kind of object can be selected with the Edit tool. And you have command-9 and command0 as a keyboard way to switch between tools.
