On Macs closing the last window does not equal shutting down the application, which is why I get those neat little lights under running apps in the taskbar without any open windows. Ok, now I get it.

Alt-F4 is not Quit, in Windows. It's "Close Window". It just happens that the app is coded to quit when the last window closes. The corresponding shortcut on the Mac is Cmd-W. OTH - lots of Windows users probably think of Alt-F4 as "Quit". A slight misunderstanding in the event model, I guess.

I do actually get a JPasskeep screen menu on Mac with a quit option and Command-Q as its shortcut, its just that I chose to keep the application menu with the window and not at the top of the screen. I could create my own Quit menu option, but it does seem a little redundant. If exiting the window on Windows (by closing the window or Alt-F4) kicks in the window closing event, why does that not happen on Macs? That's what I wanted to figure out and it seems like a difference in java between Mac and everyone else. Thanks Robert.
