Could you please reopen issue #820, "Apple-W should close the Message screen saver.", and please fix issue #820 promptly? Unlike the other issues referenced in this discussion, issue #820 deals with a bug and not with a feature request. I thank you in advance.

As has been previously noted, this project is just for fun. Demanding prompt responses or action on issues is incredibly rude.

Issue #820 is now issue #860.
