Alt commands not functioning? (alt+f11)

[DefraggedSSD]

I am trying to get a viewport fullscreen but blender doesnt seem to react? the alt commands still work fine on the rest of the PC and it's just on blender that i get 0 effects. Anyone know why?

alt+f11 makes blender it self full screen, i know for me shift+space enlarges any part of blender like viewport, timeline which ever section you are hovered over.

to make the viewport full screen its alt+f10 when hovered over it.

Try

FN+Alt_F11

(if FN is on your Keyboard.)

Strange, I have the same situation happening here. I looked at the UserPref setting and Alt+F11 is the default setting to go to full screen view.

alt+f11 is for the blender program to go full screen not the viewport, that is weird though i have tried the steam version and the daily build and everything works fine for me.

maybe you both are using addon that affects the shortcuts some how?

The only addon i have installed is an source exporter, so i can export .smd and .dmx

Not even full screen works so it's not exclusive to the viewport.

You know what, it may not be an actual plugin, but a background app that has taken contol of the Alt+F11 key... or the new build of Windows itself, I turn on Screencast Keys and Blender isn't displaying key press for any of my Alt+F keys...

Strangely enough pressing alt+prntscrn still only captures the focused window so alt still has functionality outside of blender/

Wild guess. You using the steam ui beta?

As a matter of fact, I just installed it trying to track down a different problem with steam routing and uploading to artwork since upgrading to the new Windows 10 version 1803. Thought that the beta might help. Let me bounce back to the stable client and try.

for the record i'm running Windows 7 with the steam client beta using 2 screens 1 being 1080p and the other is 1440x900. don't know what else could influence it.
