Actually, it only happens very rarely on a Mac, but if it does happen that a program crashes, there is a smart keyboard shortcut that can help eliminate the problem. On Windows we know “CTRL+ALT+DEL” – the so-called monkey handle . Apple computers also have a key combination for this:

ALT + apple key + ESC

Some may also know the apple key as the “command key”. If you press all of these buttons at once, a small window appears with all actively running programs. With a simple click you can now end the program that is currently messing around a bit.
