What typical key combination do people use to switch from fullscreen mode to windowed and vise versa? I know I can use any keys I want, just that I would like to stick with keys commonly used. And any useful tips on switching back and forth would be nice to.

There's ALT+TAB, but that's mainly used for switching between applications. I've heard of F8 as well. I'm not too sure as I usually stick with fullscreen.

alt + enter is the most common I believe.

You could provide 2 methods and one was already suggested.
Alt-Enter being the first combination and then provide an ingame GUI that will allow the user to select graphically if he wants to run windowed mode or not.

I hope this helps.
Take care.

Ok, Alt+Enter it is. So what code is needed to be called again from the intialization process when switching? I don't need to call all of it I hope.

Depends on which api you use I think but typically everything has to be reloaded.

Our standard says to use 'F' but that sucks. I like the Alt+Enter idea. :)
