Do I need to give you more details? Oh, well...

Sometimes, when you do a bad click or press a wrong key (as the Windows key) while you're playing, the window get unfocused, but the game still runs. To avoid this, I suggest an automatic function that pauses the game when this happens. a way to block Windows key, as same as mouse is locked to the window, at least during gameplay.

So long as it doesn't do it during breaks, I support this.

Support, but, what happens on a multiplayer game?

It obviously wouldn't be applied for multiplayer.

I have IM's and such all the time, and I wouldn't want to accidentally hit retry because of a pop up. People are going to kill me, but I say there be a toggle. :x

The only problem is that MOST of the time, there would be a pause in the middle of a part which you would completely miss when you resume (e.g., a stream, jump, etc.). Plus, one's concentration would be broken.

Basically, it sounds like a good idea, but I don't think that it would work well.

If it's just the windows key, I can block that...

This happens to me sometimes, when I play Taiko. So block windows button? Yeah. Support that.

I changed my taiko buttons to vbnm to avoid 1. my mouse pad and 2. the windows button.

But this sounds reasonable and other games have this as well so i'm supporting this.

Simply block the windows key, support

Re: Topic title, do not want.

I don't care if you block the windows key though. I should just write something to block my windows key whenever I'm playing any game. I don't want it popping up when I'm playing Starcraft or D2 either.

Have the Windows key reboot your computer.

You'll stop using it fast.

(Same with Caps Lock and other stuff like that.)

Not that you're going to do that while playing, right?

Same logic/flag as mouse capture. Problem solved.

Right. I'm just asking you not to break that while fixing a different issue :)

I play on a laptop so the keys are pretty sensitive :/

I've had mixed feelings for the Windows key, since it often saves me from eternal damnation when full-screen games mess up while my computer's lagging like shit. And I don't use the z/x keys often either so I don't really hit the Windows key while playing.

But I can definitely see where this would be useful, and it wouldn't hurt to have something else that would prevent interrupting the game flow I guess <.< (always on top is annoying) Support nonetheless.

OK... I don't know if this feature is easy to implement. If it is, why don't implement it? If don't, I can wait ^^

Remember: only block the key IN-GAME, not when you're on the menus or the game is paused.

BUMP!!!
