Shortcut to hide a program in OS X

[ratintrap]

I recently accidentally discovered that if you hold down the option key and click on the desktop it will hide the program that you are currently using. I suppose everyone already knows about this one, it was news to me.

P.S. It works in OS 9 too.

Command-H, I use it all the time. Some apps, like Illy and InDesign - you'll have to designate a custom shortcut for it to work.

I tend to learn a few and forget them over time from lack of use.

Ooh, I like that one. I'm still kind of a newcomer to OS X since the company I work for is so far behind.
