How do you switch applications in mac osx when in starcraft 2?

Solution 1:

Command + M will set you in windowed mode. From there any number of methods will let you switch applications...expose, spaces, alt-tab etc.

If you aren't in windowed mode you can't alt-tab or switch between apps.

Solution 2:

In the Options under Graphics, set the Display Mode to 'Windowed (Fullscreen)'. At that point, SC2 will take up the entire screen (unlike command+M) but you will still be able to switch between applications with command-Tab just like with any other application.
