F9 - Brings soldat to tray and back again!

Soldat goes to tray when you press F9.
I suggest that pressing F9 again will bring Soldat back up!

That could collide with other global hotkeys you might have in your system

I thought about that, but what could that possibly be? F9 is not anything in windows. And I bet someone in this forums could find a solution for that too.
I guess it would make more sence for people who use fullscreen, as people using windowed mode would just alt-tab instead..

This.


What about removing the Soldat tray icon feature instead.
That f9 thingy is really not needed.
There are enough ways to go back to your desktop. ( windows key , alt-tab, ... )

And as an added bonus, it would save a function key. Which could be used to get rid of the problem with the alt-f3 shortcut. You know when you want to check you fps and you end up pressing alt-f4 by mistake.

No , F9 needs to stay , I remember when i was young and i wasnt allowed to play games , as soon as i heard parents come in , i would press F9 and i was thanking the one who invented it . This needs to stay :P

*Good Times*

But if the F9 idea from evho doesnt work maybe add another button that isn't used at the moment to get it back up!

Not sure if it's possible without global hotkeys.
What you actually want is a way to quick hide and show the soldat window.

Try this instead:
Winkey+M (minimize windows)
Winkey+SHIFT+M (show them again)

If only it had worked.
It get's fucked up when maximizing. I can report it in bugtracker when I get time.
