ALT-TAB

<div class="IPBDescription">ARRHH</div>I have lost count of the number of times that I have alt-tabbed not on purpose and it infuriates me when I do it, especially when I am dumb enough to do it in a battle. Can we have an option to disable alt-tab if it is possible? I think you can choose that as an option in SC2 btw.

Would very much appreciate it if this was implemented. =)

    Meanwhile you could do this <a href="http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5937-windows-key-shortcuts-enable-disable.html" target="_blank">http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/5937-...le-disable.html</a>. It's a bit of a hassle though..

    You could also run it in Borderless Windowed Mode (or rather as NS2 calls it, Fullscreen Windowed Mode)

    also, you can have the game run in windowed mode fullscreen ... that way when you accidently hit alt+tab the game wont minimize and wont take so long to get back

    the downside to borderless windowed is a massive FPS drop, though (for me. I know that others don't experience it) :s

    I'm able to run other games in borderless windowed with no issues (including Crysis 2) but NS2 is still not where it needs to be as far as optimization

    I guess you could simply change your key bindings to avoid pressing the Alt (or the Tab) key. :)

    Haha I just thought of that myself. I feel a little silly now. I'll try and see if I can get used to "ctrl" being the voicekey, since I have crouch on my mouse.

    Still "alt" is the perfect key for voice at least for me and I wouldn't mind if I could disable alt-tab in the game.

    Like Princess_of_Power said fullscreen windowed drops the fps a bit and I don't like that. =)
