Bug #9563 seems to describe totally different behavior on Windows/OSX. When I use either the SDL or OpenGL backends, pressing alt+enter will toggle the fullscreen setting several times, instead of just once. As long as alt+enter is held, it will keep toggling it. Even when I release ENTER very quickly, it still manages to toggle it a few times. This is bad. I would expect that if alt+enter is held, nothing will happen. It should only allow the next toggle after ENTER is released and then pressed again (assuming ALT is held). While investigating this I noticed that when we change resolutions, SDL sends a KEYUP event for keys that are currently held down. This means that pressing and holding ALT+ENTER for a moment will override any key delay code we have (where?) and call it several times. It also happens with CTRL+ALT+a which toggles aspect ratio. It does not happen with CTRL+ALT+f which toggles filtering. If you press that combination for a long time it will only toggle it a single time until you let go of 'F' and press it again. Why is this happening? This errant KEYUP event prevents any hacks around this problem. For example, I tried writing a hack to the SDL backend's handling of the fullscreen toggle to only allow it again once the enter key is released and pressed a second time. (See attachment). It works fine when I comment out `toggleFullScreen`, but the toggle actually happens, SDL (in `SdlEventSource::handleKeyUp`) sends a KEYUP event for ENTER without me having released it. Besides alt+enter, this behavior should also be implemented to the alt+ctrl+PLUS/MINUS that cycle between the scalers, and arguably for Alt+S which takes a screenshot. I wouldn't want to hold alt+s for a moment too long and take many screenshots. Any other relevant hotkeys I'm missing? Besides the SDL graphics backend, this should be implemented in the OpenGL backend. Their input-handling code has some similarities. Could they be merged? A related topic that I hope someone clarifies: ScummVM's keyboard events implement a 'repeat' flag, called 'synthetic', but it isn't set if I hold alt+enter. I couldn't quite figure out how it works. It seems to trigger only when the event queue is empty - but what prevents SDL from sending repeated KEYDOWN events if a key is continuously pressed?" defect closed normal Port: Linux fixed
