RE: Exiting from full screen mode

[James W. <jn...@re...>]

Jim,

VNC Viewer 4 (http://www.realvnc.com/download.html) uses a popup menu,
normally triggered by pressing F8, to get out of Full-screen mode.  This
should be compatible regardless of what shell you are using, if any.  On the
other hand, Litestep should probably be hooking Ctrl+Esc in order to be as
compatible as possible with the standard shell. :)

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
