Descriptive title is descriptive.

Steps to reproduce:
- Be in Keyboard Mode (F2 toggle)
- Alt-tab out of game
- Try to move your mouse
- cry

Or at least, that's what happens to me :P Toggling out of F2 fixes the cursor lock.
Unrelated note: Alt-F4 to save/quit is the slickest thing ever.

Thanks, it's a known issue in fullscreen mode (not an issue when windowed). Will fix! Until then use F2 before/after tabbing!

Ah, you noticed that? ;). It's an undocumented feature because you can Alt-F4 to quit from anywhere, even places where saving is not allowed and therefore it wouldn't save under those conditions. In other words, it's not completely reliable, but it's nice to have :D.

Not if you're running wine on Debian with XFCE. I don't know why, but it kills my desktop panels. I wouldn't want to waste any time on looking into that though, I just restored my panel settings and went on with my day. I'm sure it's some shortcut command I haven't setup right in my environment.

Actually it's documented :). Under "basic" also alt-f10 to suicide and quit. Unless you mean that it's not completely reliable.

Alt-F10 is reliable, yes, because it only works in places where you're allowed to save (try pressing it while evolving, for example, and it does nothing).

Alt-F4 is a system command that shuts down the program, and I decided to have that save your game as well, but that executes anywhere, and skips the saving if saving is not possible in the given game state. I'd prefer players not use Alt-F4, hence the lack of documentation, but added the feature anyway :)
