i got a question
i use dosbox 0.65 on debian 3.1r2 linux
and i was just wondering if theres any way to alt-tab between windows
and use other windows while running dosbox

for example:
once i start a game on dosbox and click inside the dosbox, my mouse becomes strictly dosbox and it wont go outside the dosbox, but not only that, i cant press alt-tab like in windows to switch between windows or programs on linux...

is there any special button or keystroke i gotta press to switch between programs on linux while using dosbox??

On my system (Redhat) alt-tab works for cycling between Windows, but not under dosbox when the mouse is captured.

Does alt-tab work outside dosbox?
If not perhaps you might have to check out the key settings or shortcuts or whatever it's called on Debian, and set it yourself.
