Exit video full screen with ESC

Post by chapelier fou » Wed Jul 12, 2023 8:03 am

Feels like no big deal, but I'd love to exit full screen with ESC when working with video. Or any type of shortcut to toggle between full screen and closing the video window.

Actually when you're in fullscreen video, hitting opt+cmd+v opens an empty video window : looks like a bug to me.
Could be nice to just toggle between no video and fullscreen.

is there even any way to close a fullscreen video window without having to quit Live?

Just double-click it, or press ESC.

You're right Chapelier, my bad.
I wasn't in front of Live... and ironically my error just shows how relevant is your feature request.
I never realized that you need to quit full screen for opt+cmd+v to close the window.
