can't alt+tab out of the game while in fullscreen

It does work with the current version available on steam

OS: gentoo Linux
gfx driver: Intel-mesa-master
resolution: fullhd-fullscreen
game build version: current master

Alt+Tab works fine for me in any version. Care to provide the usual details (OS, gfx driver, resolution, game build version)? Does windowed mode cause problems?

Also please define "does not work". Causes a crash? Black screen? Gets stuck? .... Any more detail?

I think the game just catches the keyboard events while in fullscreen.

When I enable the steam overlay or in window mode it doesn't catch those and my window manager switches the windows.

Still happens on Debian 11 (bullseye) with the GOG versions and commit 7377ea0. Interestingly if happens in both fullscreen and windows modes for all 3-4 resolutions I tried. Indeed it seems Aquaria exclusively captures the keyboard and mouse events and doesn't allow the window manager to handle them. Maybe this is related to the specific window manager (i3wm)?

Game version: 7377ea0
OS: Debian 11
Kernel version: 5.10.0-19-amd64
Window manager: i3wm
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
Driver version: NVIDIA proprietary driver 470.141.03

Turns out the issue is fixed just by compiling with AQUARIA_USE_SDL2=ON (e.g. cmake -B build/ -DAQUARIA_USE_SDL2=ON and cmake --build build/). It might be a good idea to mention in the README that SDL2 is recommended on Linux.
