Bring Up Desktop Hotkey

[swwack91]

This can be most possibly one of the silliest posts ever..

but is there a key or set of keys to bring up the desktop when in a full screen app like a game? In windows hitting the Windows key will bring you back, but i can't seem to find an equivalent in OSX.

THANKS!

I use hot corners, so lower left and right trigger Exposé, while upper left clears to the desktop.

F10=show Desktop
F11=All Windows
F12=Dashboard

You can also go into SystemsPref/Expose to set up hot corners for the same stuff.

Hope this helps

Peace😎

well i know expose doesn't work ingame... those keystrokes are now keys for the game.

i'll check the hot corners though

Hotkeys will not work in full screen. In fact, there is no way to go to the desktop when you are in "full screen" mode. That is one of the downsides to mac. What I would recommend, if possible, is run the game in "windowed mode" maximized. Then hot corners will work. This is what I did when I was wasting my life away in WoW.

Well, 'Command + M' works for me while in WarCraft III or StarCraft. Not sure if it works for all games, but it's worth a try.
