Feature Request: Alt+Tab

I’ve seen several posts regarding the Alt-F4 feature being removed, but I don’t see why Alt-Tab needed to be removed. Being unable to browse or chat (Chrome, Discord, TeamSpeak, etc.) while forming a group or waiting for the queue ruins the experience for me. Please bring back the ability to switch tasks via Alt-Tab or give me a workaround?

But alttab is working ![o_O](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/007.png “o_O”) 

what he said

Alt+tab works, you just gotta have non-minimized windows open. At least for me.

Alt tab doesn’t like working with me, but I have duel monitors so that may screw with it.

It should still work tho. What OS you using?

Can confirm on win10. I have to used windowed mode (even then it doesn’t hide. Stays visible behind taskbar and other apps)

Either bug or really silly change. I remember being able to alt-tab

It’s a feature.

 

Devs tried to limit players leaving games so they removed alt+F4 and alt+tab and win+d. Yet doing nothing for one minute still boots you just as easy. So does resetting your network connection. Also opening task manager makes alt+tab and win+D work again too.

 

Same reason they removed the leave battle option in the esc menu.

Play on windowed and you can ctrl+esc whatever whenever and if nothing works but the start menu, click on show desktop button on the start menus far right corner. Thats how i change youtube playlists when gaming.

OFC. Instead of doing something more reasonable like disabling launch button (or changing it to rejoin) while battle is ongoing and putting a penalty/tempban for multiple leaves within a time period, they just make the game take over the system. Makes total sense

 

People left because they knew they could relaunch and get another game. For those who left due to other IRL reasons, this doesn’t change anything. Just don’t allow players from frickin requeing for new game while old one is running and everything will be fine

Well, it looks like they changed something, because it wasn’t working for me before. I usually have something like the browser or at least Winamp running, and I’d Alt+Tab to that. (Can’t use Win+ because I have it disabled, and I like it that way.) So I logged in today and today Alt-Tab works… until they change something else.

I’ve got the same problem with the combinations (alt-f4…) but i used another way to close or minimize the game: i simply clicked the “Support”-button in the pause-menu and the game is minimized and the browser can be simply closed…
