    Hotkey to Toggle Text in Fullscreen Mode

    For some years now "my" photoclub uses Irfanview to show the presented pictures on a projection screen. The pictures are shown in Fullscreen mode, so most pictures occupy the total screen area, giving best viewing result.
    From time to time, members want to know some parameters, like exposure time, focal length and ISO setting. This is done by using tags/placeholders (like $E33434, etc. ) and switching on text display in full screen mode (Options>properties>full screen>show text).
    But having the text all the time is ruining the viewing experience, even when set to the bottom left corner the text covers part of the pictures.

    A good solution would be a hotkey to toggle the text onn/off, when a request from a member for technical data arises.
    I hope such a hotkey solution already exists or can be arranged.
    Thanks

    A full list of shortcuts for fullscreen mode is shown in the Help file. One to show/hide the text is not included, but its quite easy using the existing IrfanView shortcuts.

    P, Alt T, Enter

      hotkey(s)?

      Thanks for the suggestion,
      but using "P, Alt T, Enter" whacks the properties screen onto the middle of the shown picture.
      I still hope for a less intrusive solution!

        What about hotkey N? Doesn't that do it?

          Indeed it does. It should be listed under the hotkeys for fullscreen mode, but it is only listed under the regular hotkeys or slideshow mode.

          Full screen or Slideshow mode:
          Left button click Load previous image in the directory
          Right button click Load next image in the directory
          Left button click ... in the upper left or right screen corner = close full screen.
          F Change/loop the full screen display/fit option
          > Load next image in directory
          < Load previous image in directory
          F11 Show/hide mouse
          Thread moved, since this feature request is already implemented

            &quot;N&quot; does the job!

            Thanks, both of you.
