Quit key / Receiver in demos

Post by thenewkgb »

I'm a little scared to push changes to the trunk, after all the Devs know Irrlicht better.

I noticed when learning Irrlicht I had to Win+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Esc to quit the program (02.QuakeMap and others utilising the FPS camera). Is this little thing overlooked or does an EventReceiver class add to the complexity?

Alt+F4 should do the job, but I haven't tried the demos in many years

You can't push changes anyway without write rights ;-) You can propose patches. But yes, as Brainsaw said - use Alt+F4. But I remember someone else had this trouble before, I guess that key combination is maybe not known as much anymore as it had been in the past. Maybe we should add a hint, like in the tile-bar? edit: Bad idea, not every OS has the same keys. Seems on OSX it's somethink like Command+Q.
