The fullview hotkey "f" just works if you are in fullscreen mode. pressing f will switch you to the normal view.

but if you press "f" in normalview you won't be switched back to the fullscreen view.

Can anyone confirm this?

yes

hooray I found a bug!!

seems to be related to "embedded view": viewtopic.php?t=3445


so the F-Hotkey works in normal-view, if you first click the VLC-overlay-window in the taskbar ...

seems to be fixed in the last build 0.8.0-test2 ...
