It would be annoying to me too, if it came over to the Linux build. Super key is used for everything, and when I'm in windowed, it's probably my most used key, other than actually playing of course.delinquent wrote:I think this is a good idea.

It's also not hard to just change the keyboard layout and remove it when you don't want it. Make a small script so you can single click enable/disable it, and you're good to go.Bytes wrote:Well I use z and x for left so if I've come back from typing it can very occasionally get hit. I'm not saying this happens all the time, it happens rarely, but it is irritating when it happens. And I was asking for this to happen when you're in full screen mode, not windowed.
I get that people may not want it but some people are getting very aggressive over a tentative optional suggestion...
It messes with core functions of your interface directly related to the operating system. Not only is that somewhere a program shouldn't go, it's completely unnecessary for a program like Arma, a program that gives you full control over key-bindings. All this because you are clumsy? Why not just have a bot drive for you since you don't want to work at getting better?Bytes wrote:I get that people may not want it but some people are getting very aggressive over a tentative optional suggestion...
You can already disable those in Arma by unbinding them.delinquent wrote:There could also be a reasonable want for disabling touchpads and/or mouse input whilst in-game...
I'm not bothered about that. We do (or rather, SDL does) that for other things as well. For example, the screen saver/power management gets disabled.sinewav wrote:It messes with core functions of your interface directly related to the operating system.

Essentially, yes. However, on both my old, the missus' old, and the missus' current laptop unbinding the mousegrab doesn't unbind the annoying scroll feature. I've actually heard of this being a continuing issue with synaptic drivers, but the same issue remains under linux, so I'm at a loss.sinewav wrote:You can already disable those in Arma by unbinding them.
Besides unbinding all the scroll / mouse movement inputs, on most laptops you can actually disable the touchpad.delinquent wrote:Essentially, yes.

I don't see why you would only use it in fullscreen. If it pulls away from the game, and you were to disable it, I would assume you disable it for windowed mode too because of the same reason? But, I agree it's something we can do without, as I use that key when playing a lot to quickly switch screens.Z-Man wrote:"It should be only optional, and only for fullscreen mode". Well, says you. Someone else may find it useful for windowed mode, too. The next person only wants it active when playing online, because the game pauses in single player anyway if it gets deactivated, so no damage done there. It's too many options.
Yes, that would be my personal intuition. Pressing the super key in fullscreen mode is slightly worse, though; in addition to stealing the focus from the game, it also (potentially) changes the video mode and may cause the screen to go blank for a couple of seconds.Light wrote:If it pulls away from the game, and you were to disable it, I would assume you disable it for windowed mode too because of the same reason?
