How to leave Live fullscreen mode OS X Mountain Lion?

Post by Bagatell » Tue Jan 01, 2013 12:00 pm

I've tried various cmd,alt,shift and f combinations to no avail and get no menus with the cursor at the top of the screen.

Help please!

usually the F11 works as full screen toggle, so if You have system commands turned as simple function keys Your only solution is the right bottom corner - move the mouse and after the yellow mouse pointer shows - leftclick.

In general it's better to change the OS commads to fn-F keys.
You'll be able to use F9 (toggle recording), F10 (toggle playing stuff from the arrangement mode), F11 (toggle full screen), F12 (toggle between instrument/effect and clip view)

The mistake most people make is they forget to figure out how to get out of full screen mode until they are already there ;)

There's also the little corner arrow button you can press in the far lower right corner when in the fullscreen mode:

You RTFM! I would have done that too but I couldn't find it! I know you can get to it from Lives help menu, but where the hell is it installed?

A fanboy I'm not. (yet :x )
