Thanks for the report, Wolfgang.
This thing is new to me. Do you know if that worked in 4.34?
However, I think I have to relocate the function. -
ALT ENTER key combo worked in 4.34. I know because my pit “keyboard” used that for quite some functions and I noticed because the screen went black for a second. Also, be advised ENTER includes the Num Pad ENTER, so those are blocked for use as well. I think the DX11 switch over is the reason that this is now an issue, but that is guess work on my side. It might just as well be related to the new graphics setting, allowing you to switch from windowed to full screen within the GUI.
Cheers and have a Merry Christmas.

Hello guys,
that’s exact the problem that I had write in my tread “Keystrokes problem with crash in 4.35”. When these keystrokes moved two or more times, than can Falcon crashed. I have the same problem with the TAB combination. All these keystrokes works in BMS 4.34. I use 4.34 and 4.35 with the option “-window”. I have the problem with Windows 10 Pro 2004 and also with Windows 7 Pro.It’s possible that DX11 can be the problem. It’s possible that now the key interpreter is one layer higher and so the windows system interpret first these keystrokes. But I am not sure here.
All the best and take care

Alt/enter works for me, entering in window mode, and it is the only way alt/Tab works from that mode

I have the same difficulty in Win 10 Home.

MartinEXACTLY , there’s your answer guys… but, unfortunately no cure other then remapping those shortcuts which have some default action in windows(os) - listed above in op -
So, original keymap is NOT VALID anymore. Be careful… - hope you’re not using SHIFT-DEL for something , lol,
-edit: here’s something usefull
