Hi, while I'm playing Warcraft III on my Mac, I find it impossible to return to Desktop like in Windows using ALT+TAB. This is particularly frastrating when Mac snoozes and it can't be woken up without seeing the prompt to enter password.

How does this work in Mac? The Dashboard and Expose function doesn't work in this mode!

Please help! so frustrating if I have to quit the game everytime!

Thanks!

Try Command-M. It'll put the game into a window, then press it again to go back to fullscreen.

Click to expand...

For me some games work with
:apple:+H
:apple: +M
:apple: + TAB
:apple: + ALT + ESC (open force quit but often minimises game!)

Hope some of those work!
