For iOS 7  amp  above    shift command H twice to simulate the double tap of home button swipe your app s screenshot upward to close it   You ll see screenshots representing the apps suspended on your device - those screenshots respond to touch events  Swiping is the gesture you ll make to  fling  the screenshot off of the screen  Note that on machines where your mouse is intended to represent your finger  you ll click and swipe as if it is your finger tapping and making the gesture
