Toggle FullScreen?

by Mark McCoy · in ThinkTanks · 06/09/2003 (4:07 pm) · 2 replies

Is there a keyboard short cut for toggling from full screen to windowed mode? If not, I'd like one.

I usually play full screen, but there are times when I'd like to jump back to windows. I usually hit the windows key which switches the res and jumps it back to windows. But that workaround is a bit dodgy.

When I go back, if I have any windows that are not minimized, it changes res, but doesn't change the program focus. SO I'll get a really big view of OutLook until I can get TT back in the foreground.

Also, while I'm away I can't see what's going on in the game. If I could quickly toggle to windowed mode, then I could also keep track of what might be going on. (Even if the framerate is slow.)
