Don't mess with the keyboard and media keys in full-screen

[HaniiPuppy]

The most annoying thing I've experienced when playing Don't Starve Together (OS X) so far, has been how input gets screwed around with when I play DST in full-screen, such that:

 

Media keys, like the brightness up + down get disabled, so I have to either quit DST to change my brightness and come back again, or open system preferences and change the brightness from there.

 

If I switch desktops while DST is in full-screen, I can't interact with the dock or the menubar - opening system preferences, or any other application, has to be done manually by opening the hard-drive and opening it from the applications folder, and minimised windows are virtually inaccessible. The menubar isn't even visible unless I switch between a few apps until it appears.

 

Again, if I switch to a different desktop, I can't type in other applications, like skype or teamspeak.

 

And I can't switch to a different desktop using my hotkeys, I have to use a touch-gesture.

 

It seems like it would just be easier if the client allowed a dynamically scaling window (resizable) and enabled the system's maximise/fullscreen button, so that it appears in its own separate desktop, and doesn't need to handle the mouse and keyboard "clicking through" itself.

 

An example of this is Minecraft, which allows both full-screening through the game settings, which does mess around with the input and makes it full-screen in the desktop it's currently in, and full-screening through the full-screen/maximise green button, which makes it act like any other app that's been full-screened, in its own desktop, while not taking over the mouse and keyboard, behaving (to itself) as though the game window had just been stretch across the entire screen.

I made a mistake - the window does now seem to be freely resizable, but the green button still doesn't fullscreen properly.
