Mac OSX Command-Tab in Mac version?

I just fired up GMS2 for the first time after reluctantly updating from GMS 1.4. I can't stand the workspace idea with my windows jumping around everywhere and scrolling off the top of the screen. I already set the preference to allow them to overlap, but they still push everything out of the way when I open a new one.

I figured there must have already been a ton of discussion about this and I found some threads where people said that Command/Ctrl -T and Command/Ctrl-TAB really helped them. So, T brings up a resource tree and search. What does TAB do?

And I'm on a Mac. Command-Tab is the OS X system hot-key for switching between apps. So I don't get how GMS thinks it can assign something to Command-TAB? Can a mac user explain?
 
I'm using a Mac mini, so I have a windows style keyboard with a windows key / alt / ctrl setup.

The CTRL + T equivalent for me is ALT + TAB to bring up the workspace overview. I guess that might be the Option key on a Mac keyboard, not sure but you could try that.
