some "hot keys" questions for MA v2.6.

minglw · 08-05-2006, 10:34 PM

Under the "help tab", I see a bunch of keyboard commands.

Ctrl-B Bubbles on/off

This combination doesn't work when in full screen mode.
As soon as I hit the ctrl key, the program exits.
And for the same reason, "Ctrl-W" doesn't work.
However, when it's in the windowed mode, it works fine.

Also, I don't see anything happens when I press "CTRL+ Arrows", "Page Down" or "Page UP". Which logo is it referring to ?

Thanks!

You have to turn off "Exit on Mouse Move" to press the Ctrl key without the Aquarium exiting. I guess this checkbox should really say "Exit on Mouse move or Modifier key".

Ctrl arrows, page up, page down is if you were importing a BMP logo. It doesn't work for the better looking PNG logos. You can insert your own logo into the Aquarium. Go here.

It works when I unchecked the option you said.
Thank you feldon30!

You're right, "Exit on Mouse Move" is definitely misleading.
Either the label should be changed to something more appropriate or
that the function needed to change to allow the control key to be pressed without existing.
