Fullscreen

Got a cool idea that should be in R'n'D? Let's hear it!

In SDL version would it be good having key shortcut for switching between fullscreen, and windowed view. :)

(Post splitted from this thread)

And well, I agree that this would be very nice :)
It's a shame that Alt+Return (the "classic" shortcut for switching fullscreen in games) doesn't work. I suggest that shortcut to be implemented.

Is this really a "classic shortcut"? Never knew this...

But it should not be too hard to implement this...

Well, at least it's the most used shortcut for Windows-based programs. At least in those games I've played...

My thought exactly (but I was too sleepy yesterday to post it ;-).
I only know F (in mplayer) and some function key (don't remember which one) in some games. I never play games in fullscreen, so I don't need to remember it. ;-)

Enigma and Kobo Deluxe are 2 open-source (and I think also SDL-based) games I know that recognize Alt+Return.

Trackballs also does, but apparently only in the settings-screen, where it's somhow unnecessary...

classic shortcut in windows - switches command prompt to fullscreen ;)
but standards, and consistency are good :)

after some investigations in docs (linux): Alt+Return (dosbox, enigma, castle-combat, crimson-fields, heroes, maelstrom, skobo, penguin-command), Ctrl+f (lbreakout2), Alt+f (battle of wesnoth, expired), Alt+Ctrl+f (xdosemu), F1 (bomber instinct). F2 (pathological), F4 (mures), F10 (jump'n'bump, gav), F11 (fillets-ng, gnome, firefox), F12 (luola), Ctrl+Shift+f (konqueror), Ctrl+L (acroread), Alt+Shift+Enter (d1x)
Win+c - my shortcut in sawfish ;)
of course fullcsreen switching for 'normal' apps not means the same that for typical games (changing resolution, disabling window management, etc)

Sounds like R'n'D can't stand back here, so I should add something like that, too... ;-)

Nearly forgot about this!

Just added that "Alt + Enter" fullscreen thingie ("Alt + Keypad Enter" also works, which is even some milliseconds faster to type ;-) ).

Works at any time, even while playing.

Will be available in 3.2.1, which will be released very soon.
