You mean for the workspace? The accent (`) key will hide all the windows but leave the main workspace up. It's kinda like pressing Tab in Photoshop. I know that's not exactly what you're asking for but I think it's the closest thing to a 'full screen' mode in Moho.

With only the accent key I hadn't success.
But with pressing Shift and ` und afterwards only ` I had success.
I tested it on two devices and on both I had only success with
the combination I described.

I tested the accent (`) key in a text file and on first pressing
of the accent (`) key nothing happens and on the second pressing two
accent (`) keys appear. So it could be something is wrong with
keyboard driver.

It's interesting that you have a different key assignment for this, so I looked it up. What I found is that 'accent' isn't on the official shortcuts list at all. :?

I guess I only know about this because I've accidentally pressed the accent key on occasion (usually when I'm reaching for esc,) and that's what happens on my computer. I'm not sure I've tried it on other computers I have access to.

Hmm...I think this should be an official shortcut though.

At least in Spanish keyboards, that shortcut doesn't work as default.
I modified it in my computer to 1 instead. And use it all the time :)

Oh, I see it. The command is called Close/Open Secondary Windows. It's not in any of the menus but it's in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.

In my config, it does have the accent symbol assigned to it. I guess you can put anything you want in there.

Oh, yes, sorry I forgot to put the name of the command.
The ` is theoretically working with in Spanish. I think the issue is that in Spanish the accent needs a second key to appear. For instance, if you want to write à, you first press ` (nothing happens) and then press a. Just when you press that two keys, the à character appears.

So the shortcut only works when you press ` followed by another key (like Spacebar, for instance). A problem that happened to me a lot was I pressed ` and, since it wasn't working, I pressed it again. Then the software closed all the secondary windows and then opened them again, because the shortcut was pressed twice.

Anyway, it's a long explanation for a simple solution: Just change the shortcut :)

Can someone please explain how to change the shortcut and replace
the accent key for full screen with another shortcut?

Is the shortcut window part of MOHO/Anime Studio or part of the Windows OS?
And how can I reach and change it?

Here you go:

Just open the Keyboard Shortcuts window from Edit, type in Window to find the command, and then change your shortcut. You'll want to use a key that's not in use elsewhere to avoid conflict. (Moho allows keys to be used multiple times because they might not conflict depending on context.)

Tip: create a custom shortcuts list for yourself. (Mine is called DRG2 in the above example.)
