Quit discord and it did it as well. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#24 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 03:11:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#24 DisplayFusion ok, the issue is with full screen games AND discord, so to help out, close discord for a bit and try to recreate it.

I found an old ticket in our system about Discord PTT getting stuck on when using the DF Alt+Tab handler. Not sure if it's an issue with DF, Discord, or both, but I've added this info to that ticket, and we'll definitely let you know if/when we're able to get it all fixed up.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#15 Wed, 23 Jan 2019 22:22:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#15 DisplayFusion ok, these are the steps i did to recreate.

opened display fusion and enabled the alt-tab settings, first option.

then i apply and save, then open stormworks, once on the main menu, i alt-tab, and alt is stuck.

I am wondering if it has something to do with 'alt-r' being used as my toggle for my mic on discord, as this is how i noticed it in the first place. Given it is a hotkey and not a macro, i didnt think of it.

Ok, so tested without discord running and we might have a winner., further testing shows it is a conflict with discord using an alt key for a hotkey. removing the hotkey from discord allows it to work normally.

I do hope this helps. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#14 Wed, 23 Jan 2019 18:21:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#14 DisplayFusion Can you reproduce this every time you use Alt+Tab from one of the games?

I have enjoyed this feature for years now, and i would like to offer anything i can to correct it.

I did find an open issue on our list for the Alt key getting stuck when using it from a game window, so I've added your info to that ticket. We haven't been able to reproduce it here, but as soon as we can, we should hopefully be able to get it fixed up.

I use alt-r to mute my mic on discord, and when i tab out the alt key is stuck. I am a heavy macro user, but nothing is bound to alt.

Disabling the options for alt tab inside id display fusion allows the alt key to function as expected or closing display fusion allow it to work as well.

I will give you any other info i can provide to see this issue resolved as i miss the clickable preview when alt tabbing and i have been dealing with it as best i can for now ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#7 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 17:41:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alt-tab-issue/?ID=09fcad55-0278-432b-8db0-007a20265cea#7 DisplayFusion Strange!

I'm running DFP 9.3 (Steam Powered) on a new Dell laptop with Win10. With DF running, when I Alt-Tab, the application does not select itself after I stop Alt-Tabbing. When I disable Alt-Tab in DF, or exit DF via Task manager or Tool Tray icon->Exit, the problem is solved. All of the DF Alt-Tab settings seem to behave similarly.

I read other Alt-Tab messages and didn't find this exact problem discussed. I have read that there are known Alt-Tab/Win10 issues but they seem related to games.

T

Edit - I found this previous discussion, with no resolution
