I would like to disable resume for all applications by default (including newly install applications).
I know the following command will disable resume for a specific application (Safari in this case)
defaults write com.apple.Safari NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false but I was wondering if there's a way to disable it permanently.
control+F4. Cycles through the applications in that Space.
(I actually have this mapped to control+`; which I find easier to remember, being close to the cmd+`; to cycle through an application's windows.)
To change the keyboard shortcut, go to the Keyboard preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts, and Keyboard & Text Input. It's the 'Move focus to active or next window' option.
(Edit to fix the keyboard shortcuts; I didn't realise that the backtick character wasn't showing up.)
This is easily done using the normal Keyboard system preference.
Go into the Keyboard Shortcuts section, then Applications, then Safari
Add the last two and you should be good to go...

To disable resume for all applications permanently, in the Finder, press Shift-Command-G to "Go to the folder" ~/Library/Saved Application State/, then press Command-I to Get file info, and check the "locked" box to lock the folder. This will keep any newly installed applications from resuming.
