Is there any way to minimize Wasteland to the desktop while playing? Alt-Tab doesn't work, and Alt-Enter only makes it a window that keeps your mouse pointer within it.

I'm trying to figure out how to be able to reference the "Wasteland Paragraphs" PDF while playing. How is everyone doing that? Are you just printing it out?

When windowed with Alt-Enter you should be able to Alt-Tab. If it keeps the mouse captured press CTRL-F10.

The paragraphs are integrated in the game, you can make them pop up by pressing the book icon (a few are still missing but we're working on it).

Ctrl+F10 will not work because they have overridden most of the standard DOSBox keymap in order to allow you to use the original Wasteland macro recording/playback functionality.

With the new update, however, you may be able to set autolock=false in wl.conf to prevent the mouse from locking to the window in windowed mode.

Someone else also mentioned that ctrl+alt+tab seems to work. I like this better than the alt+enter twice or ctrl+alt+del methods I was using before.

Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize that I could click on the book icon.

CTR+ALT+TAB will work instead of ALT+TAB. If you do it from full screen and switch back, it look weird, but pressing ALT+ENTER will return to full screen. It works best to ALT+ENTER first, then CTRL+ALT+TAB to release the mouse.

The updated version that was recently released now allows you to tweak the underlying DOSBox config. I was able to set capture=false to allow use of the mouse in windowed mode without it automatically locking the cursor to the game window.

This means that, while alt+tab still doesn't work, I can simply click outside of the game window to de-focus or minimize it.
