Theres no real way to make these function as normal with a captured display.

I was just meaning make these other key combos that function exactly the same as CMD+Alt+A, and only making it other key combos people are more likely to guess, just for user friendliness so people don't know have to know about CMD+Alt+A.  OSX automatically cuts an app that captured the display off from everything, so there is no CMD+H, CMD_Tab, expose, anything... your stuck in the fullscreen.  Right now CMD+Alt+A will just switch it back to rootless mode, and I'm not sure we can really do much more than that for any key combo.  CMD+H might be feasible by making it do a Cmd+Alt+A then a hide, but it would not go straight back to fullscreen when going back to the app... not sure how to track it properly to do so.

If your using the fullscreen as a fullscreen, it will force the fullscreen into a unmovable window box of whatever res the fullscreen was in... if your fullscreen was actually running windowed apps, the windowed apps would just be transferred straight to rootless mode.  I'm not really seeing a need to change that.. just fix it so CMD+Alt+A (and the other ones we put in that do the same thing) toggle correctly to go back to a captured fullscreen.

CMD+Tab is well known to get out, as well as its kind of switching to a "window" so CMD+Enter would make since... but I'd not get rid of the CMD+Alt+A either.  Maybe those three all do the same toggle.
