Alt-tab should be shift and tab at the same time, I think...

You want to return to the desktop. Well, I think the best way to do it is to run it in a window, which is "option" when loading the game, check something like "run in window" and then change the resolution so that it is smaller than your screen. Then you are able to switch between your game and your desktop.

You can not undo actions in the game.

Not sure if the game switch is a function of the game or it lets the OS do it, but "command - tab" is used for switching between apps on a Mac. In SC4 I think this is disabled though. I am not aware of any way to switch between the two unless, like hamish mentioned, you run in window mode.

As for undo, I know of nothing like that. The only thing remotely close is hitting "escape" to about the laying of zones, street, etc. Of course you have to hit it before you let go of the mouse click.
