Command Tab Full Screen Apps

Dear Cupertino,


I love multi-tasking on my Mac. One hinderance to my productivity is not being able to switch between full-screen apps using Command+Tab, a keyboard shortcut that allows me to switch to another program without looking away from the screen.

I figure it's one of two things - either OSX doesn't allow for full-screen app switching, or the developers of said apps aren't building the Command+Tab functionality into their app. If the second option holds true, then Apple should make it a default - just like Option+Command+Esc is force quit for the active app when in full-screen mode.

Yeah - so I'm mainly talking about games here. Halo for Mac is excellent because it does allow full-screen app switching from within the app. Whether this is a specific feature the developers built in, or whether it's included in all Mac games by default, I don't know.

So - CrossOver Games, if you're listening, I'm looking at you.

Productivity, heh. So much for that.

Thanks,
Benny Ling
