Alt + Tab yes please :D

[Soukyuu]

This thread clearly demonstrates why alt+tab will never be fixed.

If SE bans me for using an external program that enables me to have a feature that even the lowest quality f2p game out there has out of the box, well, it's their loss.

Whatever might come out of it...

Yes!!! I'm glad this issue is finally getting some attention. It's never even been acknowledged until now.

Not being able to alt+tab out of full screen is horribly annoying. Given the fact it's basically a game standard now, it's something I find myself doing out of habit and crashing the game because I always play in fullscreen. Windowed mode's reduced framerate is noticeable on my rig, plus I can't stand the fact that the titlebar pushes a small bit of the bottom of the game off my screen.

With few in-game tutorials and a lack of recipe book, this game leaves you with little alternative but to look for the information needed to play it on the Lodestone and 3rd party websites. As such, the idea that I should have a laptop or my Blackberry at the ready so I can do so is ridiculous. I wouldn't suggest the equally ridiculous notion that SE supply me with extra hardware. But allowing me to alt+tab out of the game so I can get to my web browser is an essential tool.

During the old days of FFXI before windowed mode was implemented and smartphones didn't exist, I had to look up everything on an archaic gimp laptop running Windows 98. That just really brings back bad memories.
