Full screen preview: Allow Alt+Tab to swap to other tasks

Post by j_c_hallgren »

As part of a task I'm doing here (creating a consolidated list of shortcut keys with menu lists for the wiki), I used the Full Screen Preview mode on some JPG's...

I'll admit that rarely use this mode but while doing so, found that it would have really been handy to be able to swap to another task, like IE or Excel, without losing the FSP mode...because, each time I had to use another task, I had to reinvoke FSP mode...

Ok, so maybe I could have done/used MDBU, but in this case, FSP was the desired mode.

So if Alt+Tab could be used to temporarily swap out of XY, but other keys (not those for FSP control) would exit back to normal XY mode.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

That makes sense to me...

Obviously ALT+SHIFT+TAB should be included in this as well (and CTRL+SHIFT+ESC not so obviously).
Used to update to the latest beta every day. Now I have children instead…

Works like a charm! :D Thanks MUCH!
I think I'll be using FSP more often now!
As there are times when I had something that I needed to see at that size for a bit, and yet still bounce over to another task to do some other work for a minute or two...or use the info shown on FSP for manual input to another pgm....
