How to disable 'esc' quitting full screen?

Hi. The title explains itself:
I will be on anything such as Facebook, want to close a 'chat window', click 'esc' which should work but instead closes full screen. Quite annoying.
Not a huge problem but if there was a way to stop this it would be very helpful since shift-command-f is the shortcut for closing full screen officially...
Thanks.

esc should toggle form a small window to full screen. So to close a full screen chat I would think hit esc to get small screen window and then uparrow-command-w should close the window.

  • How to disable dock in full screen mode?

    Hi, every time im full screen the dock are bugging me. Exemple, when i'm on Facebook on Google Chrome in full screen and I want to write something in the chat, the dock pop-up. Is there a way to disable dock when i'm in full screen mode? I'm on a MBP mid 2012 running Maverick.
    Thanks you!

    Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom.  Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen.  That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
    If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered.  The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.

  • How can I exit from full-screen View?

    On the View menu, I clicked "Full screen View", but then I couldn't find any way back to normal view. I had to Force-Quit Firefox to escape.
    How do you exit from Full Screen View?
    (I tried Esc, Ctrl-C, and many other key combinations)
    Thanks, PeterR

    Try F11.

  • HOW CAN I GET FACETIME FULL SCREEN?

    HOW CAN I GET FACETIME FULL SCREEN?

    HERE'S HOW:
    (1) Launch FaceTime
    (2) Connect with one of your contacts.
        (You must be connected to activate full screen view.)
    (3) As soon as you have established two-way video, the controls appear at the bottom of the picture like this:
    If the controls go away, hover your mouse in the bottom of the picture.  The controls will reappear.
    (4) Click the diagonal double arrows at the right side of the control box to enter full screen view:
    (5) Clicking the diagonal double arrows again or pressing <esc> (Escape) cancels full screen view.
    (6) If the above doesn't work, restart Mac and try again.  Unless your software is damaged, the above works.

  • How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

    How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
    I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
    Thank you!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
    Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
    Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
    Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
    If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
    (I'm on iLife '09.)
    Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

  • 1. How to view my work full screen? 2. How to make "F" keys behave proper?

    Hello All,
    Two softball questions for FCP batting practice:
    1. Somewhere along the way, I came across an explanation on how to make my canvas full screen. I found a post mentioning View, External Video, and something about cinema (not in front of it right now). I don't have an external monitor, so how can I accomlish this on my laptop?
    2. Speaking of laptops, many of the "F" keys don't work as described in the manual. For example, F12 brings up a dashboard with weather in Cupertino, CA. Not exaclty conducive to my workflow. Is there a place to tell the MacBook Pro that when operating this application, default to the "F" commands within the software?
    Thanks All.

    Hey Steve,
    Point well taken. In the past week, I purchased a camera, Final Cut, MacPro, Mic, Lights, Tripod, etc. I have purchased two books that were recommended on this site (both excellent), and a CD tutorial. I have been out shooting every day, doing tutorials and editing (to the best of my ability) every night. All of that being said, it's a tremendous amount of information, and some of the finer points get lost. I am pleased to say that I have completed my first piece on hunger experienced by seniors in our community. Very gratifying.
    So, I fully appreciate the apparent laziness inferred from my post, but trust me, I'm fully engaged, just overwhelmed.
    Shane, thanks for "pinch hitting". Both solutions worked.

  • How to show dock in full screen mode

    Hello,
    I'm wondering how to get the dock to show up temporarily in full screen mode. When I place my cursor near the bottom of the screen in a full screen app, the dock doesn't pop up. Is this normal and if so, how do I switch between full screen apps without using gestures on the mouse? I'm really hoping that this is a bug.
    Thanks

  • How can I get a full screen on facetime

    How can I get a full screen on FaceTime

    You woul dprobably need to choose a zoom display mode on the TV.
    Any screem shots / promos for mirroring I've seen have been 4:3 ratio like the iPad screen resolution.
    To me this would be an obvious source of frustration to users of 16:9 TVs - unless there's an ipad 2 mode to somehow run in 16:9 not using the whole screen or not displaying the edges for mirroring, AppleTV2 may not be able to fill the screen

  • How do I run two full screen applications on separate screens?

    I have two screens for my MacBook Pro with Lion; the laptop screen and a stock screen hooked up by a VGA cable. Currently, when I use a full screen application, my second screen just changes to the grey fabric pattern. How do I run a full-screen application on each screen?

    Hi Jared,
    Connect/turn on the external monitor. Open System Preferences on your MBP > Displays. There should be two windows, one for the external monitor and one for the MBP. Click on the window for the external monitor. Click on the Arrangement tab. Uncheck the box for Mirror Displays. This willallow you to set each display to its own resolution. On the external display, click on the pref window for the external monitor display setting. Click on Display. Set the resolution to what you want. On the MBP's display, click on the pref window for the MBP's display and set the resolution to whatever you want. You'll be in what's called "extended desktop mode." You'll have to move the "pointer" all the way to the edge of one display to get it to go onto the other display. Open whatever you want, and drag it to the extended monitor. Set it to full screen. Open another whatever on the MBP's display and set it to full screen. You should be full screen on both displays.

    Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.

    No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
    Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.
