I'm used to pausing my app just by hitting the alt button, which goes up to the file menu in the process. Is this really no longer possible? It was such an easy way to pause a game!!

Well I COULD do that, but what happened to alt? Also, I just noticed something: Sometimes alt DOES work, sometimes it doesn't. Basically if the "F" in "File" is underlined (and the rest of the menu items have their shortcut keys underlined) then alt does the trick. But sometimes they're underlined, sometimes they're not. What the heck?

It's not supposed to be a game pause function anyway.

Even so, it SHOULD work. It may not be the "official" pause button, but it should function as such.

Personally I prefer an application doesn't pause if the alt key is pressed. That is of course I deliberately code it into the code that way.

I'd rather be able to use Alt as a fire button myself. The pause was rather annoying.

Turn off the menu and you can use the alt key for something else.
