Been using 3.2.3 for a while now, but tinkering with 3.6.4 lately since some of the newer maps have issues with 3.2.3.

I can't make 3.6.4 send me from full-screen QW to the desktop with the Windows key like I can in previous versions.

sys_disableWinKeys 0 or 1 makes no difference.

Is there a bind? I see you can now bind the Windows keys in the notes on that cvar above. Just don't know what the cvar to get to the desktop would be, if there was one.

Google is useless for the most part with Quake questions these days...

TIA

Also better to ask on Discord where you get answers much faster

Yea, that didn't work either. I had tried it before I posted here, after I did a search on discord, assumed it was way off the trail.

I'll figure it out eventually. Seems like the recent EZQ devs are making things such a pain with so many variables. If not for the recent maps that graphically demand it, I would definitely stick to 3.2.3.

For lost Googlers I finally figured it out.

//makes Winkey shell to desktop in later EZQuake versions (3.6.4 in this case)
vid_grab_keyboard "0"
sys_disableWinKeys "0"

[edit] BTW, the reason it baffled me initially was it appears the vid_restart required for vid_grab_keyboard didn't do anything, I then did a cfg_save then quit completely to make it actually work.
