(Get the code!)
Hi!
Thanks for re-thinking your remark
(I really mean that! most people never do, and often I wait too long myself...)
Right, I was not using Unity. (I disable it as a matter of course.)
I was able to follow your instructions, to open a config dialog (using a surprising keystroke "o",
and set a key sequence which toggles full-screen mode (none had been set, by the way),
then using that sequence, I got out of full-screen mode.) Thank you!
This is TERRIBLE. *nobody* would have thought of that.
1) Full-screen mode ought not to be an F-key. It ought to be something like control-F, as in many other apps.
2) Raw letters "such as o" ought not to be command keys, (unless you enjoy surprising your users.)
3) Command keys ought to be reachable by a menu. A right-click pop-down menu would have been nice.
By the way, I could have got out of this myself, by deleting the settings files.
That isn't the issue. I wanted to see if it was *possible* using the interface. You have done that,
and illustrated just what a mess the interface is, in this respect.
Please send this upstream. It is an embarrassing bug, and they ought to see it.
Again, Richard, thank you for your attention to this matter!
