the new player seems awesome so far (besides the few bugs and for these
i´m sure all critical ones will be fixed before final release), i wonder
though what´s up with fullscreen mode that key input is not supported
(for security reasons). I mean what could those security reasons be
(scared of input textfield value theft or..?) and couldn´t they be
addressed in other way (maybe blocking some kind of external
communication if needed) than by blocking key input?
Does anyone know more about this and if its planned to have key input
support in the final built of the new player revision?
Just asking as of course as game developer that´d be awesome for me =D
cheers,
