Menu bar hide/unhide |
Modified the hide/unhide behavior of the newly redesigned menu bar to ensure the “unhide” tab doesn’t block access to application menus. Here’s how it works:
Hide: Unhide: note: In full screen mode, the menu bar is hidden by default. In browser mode, the menu bar is visible by default (unless the user clicks the up arrow to hide it). |
Mouse Lock |
Added a keyboard shortcut to enable (and disable) a mouse/pointer lock. Locking the mouse prevents the mouse cursor from leaving the desktop in 3D games and applications like Unreal Engine.
Users can type “Shift + Alt + L” to enable or disable the lock. Instructions are visible from the Settings > Mouse Lock menu.
