Bug Description
I've noticed that accidentally pressing the OS Key (Windows key?) during a fullscreen game will bring up the Dash/Lens, I think if it detects you have a full screen game/app in front that this should be ignored?
It may also be useful to have an over ride method, such as Shift + OS Key to bring the dash/lens to the front but also change the screen resolution back to default desktop size, eg many games use 320x240 or 640x480 making the displayed lens unusable anyway.
The very best Global hotkey would be a way to exit the foreground app/game and revert the Screen Resolution back to Desktop Default (such as Ctrl + Alt + Delete in Windows 7). Often a Game will crash, then oyu have to find a way to quit the game, then you have to find a way to revert the desktop resolution back to normal.
If there is an easy way to do this already it needs to be documented, I've made some manual scripts to do this job, but I am sure people wont complain if it's built in.
Needs design discussion
