[Bug 836326] Re: pressing escape hides/closes the main display

 

Escape in PowerPoint closes the display, and I think we should /by
default/ follow suit regardless of setup.

We've had instances of people starting OpenLP and getting stuck behind
the display window and not being able to close it without killing the
process. Although we could try and do clever things to detect where
screens are, it always seems to get confused in some situations when
we've tried this.

Is ESC defined in the configure keyboard shortcuts? If so, then the user
should be able to deassign it there at their own risk if they really
need to. If not, can we add it to this list?

As an aside, there seems to be some situations recently where a single
screen user is getting the display window over the app window when they
first run, and ESC isn't working. We need to fix this. I think the issue
was raised on Ubuntu and they had to switch to a virtual console to kill
openlp. This leaves a bad first impression.

Title:
  pressing escape hides/closes the main display

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Windows 7 home 64-bit Openlp 1.9.6 Dual screen setup (Operators screen
  + main display window)

  If escape is pressed, the main display dissapears. While this works
  quite well in single screen mode, whith two screens, and with out
  escape mapped to show desktop, i would say that this is wrong!
