How to switch out of the game (and back) ?
Debian Spring user here... Once in the game, no amount of alt-tab or virtual desktop switching will let me switch out of the game. Is there a way to do that, short of exiting the game altogether ? Are application key bindings conflicting with the usual dekstop key bindings ? Once I find that, I'll be ready for serious Anihilation !

Use windowed fullscreen, namely:
If you want to do that while not having the DE chrome stealing some of your clicks: use this ingame command:
And disable fullscreen, then maximize the window from taskbar or otherwise.just set WindowBorderless=1 in springsettings.cfg

Looks exactly like what I want, thanks.Anarchid wrote:Use windowed fullscreen, namely:

Now, I can't find springsettings.cfg in ~/.spring or anywhere else. Is it normal ? Should I create a new one with just that setting ?

edit ~/.springrc

Almost there... I edited ~/.springrc but then found that the Alt-tab key combination is bound to a camera style switch.
So I created a Hotkey Profile and changedintoBut Alt-tab is still captured by Spring. Did I forget something ?

I think you may have to do:
Code: Select all
unbind Any+tab toggleoverview
bind Ctrl+tab toggleoverview

You need to create a separate xserver for spring, then you can switch back and forth between your desktop and spring using CTRL+ALT+Fx.

@liotier:
toggleoverview doesn't what you think it does...
use windowed fullscreen as already suggested.

While I enjoy Spring, creating a new xorg instance just for it seems a bit too involved to me. In addition, I would love to end up with a configuration that I can convince less technical people to adopt : go tell your excited and impatient LAN party pals that they need a second xorg instance...Cheesecan wrote:You need to create a separate xserver for spring, then you can switch back and forth between your desktop and spring using CTRL+ALT+Fx.
At the moment I have a 'WindowBorderless = 1' line in my ~/.springrc but, with just that, still no way to Alt-tab out of Spring during a game.
So I also added a 'unbind Any+tab toggleoverview' line to my ~/.spring/uikeys.txt and that was successful in that as any combination involving the <tab> key is indeed unbound. But still no way to Alt-tab out of Spring during a game.
Is my 'WindowBorderless = 1' configuration ignored ? How can I check that it is taken into account ? Is anything else required for Windowed Fullscreen ?

I have the same Problem. I temporarily solved it by pluging in an USB-Stick to get out of the game.

-Copy this* file to:

-Start the game, go to "help + options" and change it to the desired resolution and perhaps set it to full screen, if you'd like.
