Alt+Tab equivalent on Mac?

Hi, when running full-screen in Mac, is there a key combo which forces the screen to minimise or something so that the desktop can be displayed again? Thanks

try this:
Go to http://www.proteron.com and get LiteSwitch X.

I could be wrong but i dont think apples have this ability as standard :/

From what I've Googled (being curious myself on the matter), it appears there is no forced means of doing so, and that it is up to the programmer of said application to implement it themself.

That's great news, thanks. I don't want to do it and I don't want players to do it either ;-)

Any particular reason?

I'd personally hate it when my OS is locked down while an application is running.
(all the games I run on this MacBook support windowed mode at least)

My game supports windowed mode of course. It's just that I wanted to know if there ware any weird way that Mac users could alt+tab like you can on the PC in which case I'd need to add some special code to handle various stuff like I do on the PC.

Apple-Tab does the same thing on Mac as Alt-Tab on Windows. You can cycle through the current applications.

It's Expose in your System Preferences. You can bind a hotkey or a screen corner to do a variety of things: display all open windows, all open windows for the current app, or display the desktop. Handily, you can even do it while dragging and dropping an item - very handy for dragging something into a window you can't even see.

That works with fullscreen?
I am pretty sure it doesnt, although i am not a regular osx user.

it doesn't work in fullscreen
cheers

Sorry, my mistake - I didn't see that crucial parameter :)

yah, doesn't work in fullscreen, the keystrokes must be routed to your app - maybe test for apple-tab and then shut your screen down?

Yeah read the post dudes before scaring me ;-p I don't want to allow it.
