Alt Tab WoW

Alt Tab Full Window Apps (games like WoW) for a Mac newbie

I postesd this in the OS section but this might be better here thanks!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I've just switched to my first Mac, a MacBook Pro, and am slowly learning the shortcuts. I've been searching for an answer but cant find a specific response to this. How can I basically alt-tab from a full window application, world of warcraft for example. I usually leave my Fire up in the background but don't want to have to quit to see it. Is there a way for me to do this?? I hope this hasn't been answered but I did a quick search through the forums and didnt see anything. Thanks!!!

Any help here anyone? I found that command-M might work, but my laptop is at home and I can't try it. I've downloaded multiple alt-tab programs but they dont work for full window.

Command+Tab

Also, give patience a chance.

command tab will not do it

try Apple+H

if I remember correctly it command "M". if thats not it try option "M" or control "M". I rememebr hitting one of these and WoW went from full screen to a finder window.

thanks!! i was hoping for someone who had tried it before. After being on a pc so long and simply alt-tabbing like a fiend it was quite a shock when it didnt work on the Mac! but now that i know it can be done Ill relax a little!

well I just tried cmd m with firefox, and it minimizes it...

Ive gotten windows like firefox to minimize but it did not work with programs like WoW

If thats not what you're looking to do, then I think the back of the instructions booklet for WoW has the keyboard shortcuts.

i was talking about the post above yours. It seems that most of the alt-tab type functions worked outside of a full screen app like WoW, i downloaded Witch and LightSwitch that worked great outside of WoW but did not work in-game
