Description Drew Bliss 2015-07-06 17:53:07 UTC 
Users are reporting that they can't use system hotkeys like Command+Tab to switch away from an SDL app using true fullscreen.  They can when using fake fullscreen and it seems desirable to allow it in true fullscreen also.

Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2015-07-06 18:21:21 UTC 
I don't know if this is possible because of the way fullscreen on Mac works (no Cocoa window input)

The recommendation is not to use old fullscreen mode on Mac, and instead use fullscreen desktop mode, as Apple is clearly deprecating fullscreen access in favor of the newer APIs.

Assigning to Ryan for further investigation and comment.

I believe this is by design; going fullscreen with Spaces is the way to be friendly to things like app switching.
