Re: Disable Colibri

[eXplodus]

first change, as an alternative, to a better hotkey like ctrl-
backspace or another similar hotkey.
cause it is hard to detect if there is a fullscreen app running and
also to know that it is a game.
programs like gamespy use lists of games and watch for each if they
are running, not a really good method for a simple programm like
colibri.

good idea!

This bugged me today while playing games; I thought perhaps being able
to hold your chosen shortcut keys for a few seconds to enable or
disable Colibri would be simple and handy, perhaps?

A workaround for this would be to make a batch file that ends the
Colibri process, then launches your game, and re-launches Colibri when
you exit from the game.

I use Win-space too, and it's probably the best combination available,
that doesn't clash with existing games or programs (ctrl-space is
autocomplete in many IDEs).

I also used "process" with success, to temporarily suspend Colibri
when I don't want it to pop out: it's much faster than closing and
opening the program again.
