    Alt + tab fullscreen behaviour


    Hi there,Alt tabbing out of a full screen application media player into something windowed loses focus, e.g. alt tabbing from a fullscreen media player into a web browser or Windows Explorer means that keyboard shortcuts won't work until I actually click the window to focus again.The opposite is also true, alt tabbing back into the full screen media player means that media shortcuts space to play/pause etc. won't work until I click the window to focus again.I've tried with 4 different media players including the native windows one. Unlikely to be a peripheral problem as the alt + tab works

    :)

  2. alt + tab not working

    Just found a really cool way to make alt+tab INSTANT!!!

    In the launch options write the following: -windowed -noborder

    This play exactly the same as fullscreen but now you dont have to wait 30 f*@!ing seconds to alt+tab back in!

    Also you don't get the little purple/black checkered effect (only in Source games) from alt+tabbing in fullscreen.

  3. What is the "magic" of alt+tab?

    run in borderless windowed mode, and avoid that requirement of Alt+Tab. it looks the same as fullscreen, but it will fixed issues tied with running in Fullscreen.

    Alt + tab fullscreen behaviour

    Edge, fullscreen videos and Alt-Tab

    Well met.

    When I play a video in fullscreen with any browser and I alt tab to a window, the video remains in fullscreen behind the new window, so if the window is small I can still see most of the video while attending to the other windows.

    In Edge, when I Alt-Tab, the video keeps playing, but it keeps minimized. The behavior I desire is that of the rest of the browsers. Is there a way to make it behave so?

    I've searched several times but I've never been able to find any solution, the YouTube enhancer extension doesn't address it.

    Apologies if I post in the wrong section, first time posting here and I couldn't see the other.

    Thanks in advance.
