SDL_HINT_ALLOW_ALT_TAB_WHILE_GRABBED - Man Page

Specify the behavior of Alt+Tab while the keyboard is grabbed.

Synopsis

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_ALLOW_ALT_TAB_WHILE_GRABBED "SDL_ALLOW_ALT_TAB_WHILE_GRABBED"

Description

By default, SDL emulates Alt+Tab functionality while the keyboard is grabbed and your window is full-screen. This prevents the user from getting stuck in your application if you've enabled keyboard grab.

The variable can be set to the following values:

· "0": SDL will not handle Alt+Tab. Your application is responsible for handling Alt+Tab while the keyboard is grabbed.

· "1": SDL will minimize your window when Alt+Tab is pressed (default)

This hint can be set anytime.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
