How to exit fullscreen?

Okay this might sound stupid but I have my Mac since Monday now and I don't have any idea how to exit the fullscreen mode when playing a game. For example I was playing EVE Online the other day (in fullscreen mode) and wanted to check something on my Skype, but couldn't because I wasn't able to exit the fullscreen mode and go to the desktop. I'm using the Macbook Pro at the moment. So if anybody could help me out with that, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!

That will be game-dependent. I've played some games that won't release the system. Some will work with Cmd+tab. Others will do so with 'esc' as Carolyn mentioned. You may need to check the game documentation to see what you must do.

  • Dual Monitor Exiting Fullscreen!

    I have tried really hard to find a solution to this, but latest news is from 2010?!
    I use 2 screens, I have 2 screens!
    And most often the main thing I am doing is only needing 1 screen, so the other one is perfect for watching a movie, watching youtube, watching streams.
    But 2 days ago, something that makes me wanna gnaw my face off started to happen.
    So
    1. I go fullscreen on my secondary
    2. I click anywhere on my main screen
    3. This is leading to secondary fullscreen is exiting <,<
    Please help me, I have tried the solutions from 2010 but obviously those ask you to mod outdated versions of Flash Player.
    PS. This allso happens if I AltTab, so anything that makes the fullscreen not being the top window will make it exit fullscreen. Please help!

    I finally solved it, it was in fact Google Chromes fault, no idea why.
    There was no setting, that I chould find. But by reseting it all fullscreen started working like it should
    Windows 8.1
    Google Chrome
    Still interested in knowing what started this problem.

  • How to exit full screen mode mail message

    Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode.   The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it. 
    In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen.  When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out.  If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected.  I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
    I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option? 
    Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find?  I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages.  This started this morning.
    Can anyone help?  
    I do not know how it got into full screen mode.  It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
    i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns. 
    How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
    I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore.  So i have had my struggles with Mail.  Trying to get through it.  This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions.  Sort of Microsoft-like.
    I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

    Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

  • Update Rule Routine - How to exit or go to end

    I have a routine where I have a bunch of IF/END IF sections.  I would like to know how to exit the routing from within one of these sections OR go to the end of the routine?
    For example;
    IF CONDITION1
       RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-creditor.
       EXIT ROUTINE OR GO TO END
    ENDIF.
    IF CONDITION2
       RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-debitor.
       EXIT ROUTINE OR GO TO END
    ENDIF.
    END
    I know I can probably structure the IF statements so that they are nested in a way to avoid this but this example I give is simple but I have MANY IF statements and my code is a bit more complicated.  I'm looking for an easy way to exit the routine...
    Thanks!

    Hi Patrick!
    If you don't want to modify the structure of your routine...you can add for every if-clause (at each conditon) a check on to a flag.
    Example:
    CLEAR FLAG.
    IF FLAG = 'X'.
    IF CONDITION1.
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-creditor.
    FLAG = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    IF FLAG = 'X'.
    IF CONDITION2.
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-debitor.
    FLAG = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Hope it helps!
    Bye,

  • Weird behavior exiting fullscreen from IE need help

If anyone has any Idea what might be causing this I would really appreciate it. Is there a way to redraw or reload the flash document?
    thanks for any Help:

  • How to exit from a WebDynpro ABAP application and open another url

    Hi Friends,
    How to exit from a WebDynpro ABAP application and open another url like (www.yahoo.com) in the same window of the WD4 application on click of a Button?
    Regards,
    Xavier

    Hi,
    First of all you should create outbound plug in the window you are trying to exit with plufg type "Exit"
    Then create method handler in the view with this code
            data lo_view_cntr type ref to if_wd_view_controller.
            data lo_win_cntr type ref to if_wd_window_controller.
            data: l_parameter_list type wdr_event_parameter_list,
                  l_parameter type wdr_event_parameter,
                  l_val type ref to data,
                  l_val_url type REF TO data.
            field-symbols: <fs> type any,
                           <fs_url> type any.
            lo_view_cntr  = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
            lo_win_cntr = lo_view_cntr->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
            CREATE DATA l_val type c.
            CREATE DATA l_val_url type string.
            ASSIGN l_val->* to <fs>.
            ASSIGN l_val_url->* to <fs_url>.
            <fs> = 'X'.
            <fs_url> = 'http://your-link.com'.     
            l_parameter-name = 'URL'.
            l_parameter-value = l_val_url.
            INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_parameter_list.
            lo_win_cntr->if_wd_view_controller~fire_plug( EXPORTING plug_name = 'EXIT_PLUG'
                                                                    parameters = l_parameter_list ).
          You can easily change this logic to exit application instead of redirecting to the site
           just changing to
           l_parameter-name = 'CLOSE_WINDOW'.

  • How to exit from a loop on 2 different conditions

    Hello Experts
    I’m trying to write a procedure in which I’m taking PROVINCE as an input parameter. All the provinces are stores in a table. I’m using a cursor and rowtype variable to check the province. After I finds province I displays province and its code. Everything works fine expect when I don’t find the province. I’m not sure how to exit from loop if I don’t find the province. I already uses exit when condition. I was expecting else condition should work and should exit from the loop but it doesn’t. Can please somebody show me how to exit if I don’t find province in the table through cursor.
    Here is my code
    set serveroutput on
    variable G_TAX varchar2(10)
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_create(i_state VARCHAR2)is
    CURSOR cur_bb_tax is
    select * from bb_tax;
    bb_tax_details bb_tax%rowtype;
    begin
    if not cur_bb_tax%isopen then
    open cur_bb_tax;
    end if;
    loop
    fetch cur_bb_tax into bb_tax_details;
    if (bb_tax_details.state = i_state) then
    dbms_output.put_line(bb_tax_details.state || bb_tax_details.idstate);
    end if;
    exit when bb_tax_details.state = i_state;
    end loop;
    close cur_bb_tax;
    exception
    when others then
    dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM);
    end;
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Why don't you use dbms_output.Put_line and print output to find why logic is not able to execute? Maybe upper case/lower case/whitespace. *Also put your code between \ to preserve formatting*.

  • How does EXIT modules in DMEE work?

    Dear friends, how does EXIT modules in DMEE work?
    If I want to use this module DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO to extract the account number of an OCR line, what should I do?
    And especially what do I put in the import parameters?
    /René

    The module called DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO is a dummy module or template module if you like.
    The problem is that the module DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO has a condition that never where fulfilled!
    I copied the module to Z_DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO and changed the conditions u2013 and then everything was working with import and export parameters!
    Either is DMEE_EXIT_DK_OCR_ACCOUNTNO a serious mistake in standard SAP or just an undocumented template to be modified!

  • How to exit zenmicro recovery mo

    Help! My zen microphoto was working just fine this afternoon, but when I got home and turned it on I found it in 'recovery mode' and I don't know how to exit this. I tried clean up and reboot, but neither made any difference. What should I do?

    It sounds like it's stuck in Recovery Mode then. Connect the player to your PC, and see if it's picked up. If it is, you can try loading the firmware update (available on the Downloads page).

  • Can't exit fullscreen DVD playback

    Hello, I'm working on my first Director/DVD project, but have
    found that I can't exit fullscreen playback mode when the project
    is compiled as a projector (I can exit out of fullscreen fine in
    the authoring environment). In fact, it seems as though the
    application stops responding to all user input (mouse&
    keyboard) when playing back fullscreen (the cursor disappears also,
    although since it is playing back DTS I would imagine that is
    normal?).
    Is there anyway to interact with a projector in fullscreen
    DVD mode? thanks

    I see nobody answered you on this, but if you figure it out,
    could you
    provide the answer for future reference?
    Thanks!

  • Firefox exits fullscreen with 2 monitors

    I am using 2 monitor, identified as display-1 and display-2.
    I split 1 window of the Firefox in the display-1 and another in display-2.
    I set display-1 to full screen (using the HTML5 video API), then I focus in the display-2. Just after focusing on display-2, display-1 exits fullscreen with the Title Bar showing on top.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/995644 don't helped me.
    navigator.userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0"

    So if you zoom in and out on the second screen the first one goes out of full screen mode.
    I also noticed on the bug that was references that the feature full-screen-api.exit-on-deactivate is no longer visible in about:config. It is possible to add it back. Right click on the about:config page and add a new entry.
    Does adding it back make a difference?

  • MozCancelFullScreen() not working and firefox not exiting fullscreen even though this function was called on document

    I have a container which gets into full screen mode using mozRequestFullScreen() API but I want to get back to non-fullscreen mode after one of my custom event is fired.
    As soon as my custom event is fired, I call mozCancelFullScreen() API to exit full screen but this seems to be not working. Firefox is not exiting fullscreen even though this function was called on document.
    I have to press "Esc" to get into non-fullscreen mode.
