Offthewall Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 This is not a major issue, but I found the ability to minimize CM by hitting the escape key to be very handy and I'm a little bummed that it doesn't work with CMBB. BTS - any reason this feature was taken out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 (Windows version) Press Alt-shift-; (i.e. Alt- : ) and this will reactivate the ESC key ability to switch to the desktop (in case you prefer ESC to alt-tab for this purpose). From the "new feature" list...

Foobar Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I have tried this suggestion, and it appears that you must hold down alt-shift WHILE pressing escape. At least on my machine, it does not "toggle" the escape button as a single function button. I am attempting to do this from the main screen. Am I doing something wrong, or does it only function as I have described? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the title screen and in the different menu screens you have to press "alt-shift-esc", but once in the game you can minimize the game with "esc" only. [edit: IF you have previously pressed "alt-shift-."] [ September 04, 2002, 09:32 PM: Message edited by: ParaBellum ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce70 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I am glad they made this an option because it really annoyed me in CMBO. I would hit esc every time I wanted to close the Unit Details dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
