Open Start Menu

Pressing the Windows key opens the Start menu. From here, you can use your trackball as a mouse to navigate out of Polycade AGS. 

Switch Between Applications and Tabs

Alt+Tab is a very quick way to switch between running applications. If switching between more than two windows, you’ll have to hold the Alt key and press Tab repeatedly to toggle through the list of open windows.

Close Tabs and Windows

To quickly close the current application, press Alt+F4. 

Access the Task Manager

Ctrl+Alt+Delete will take you to a screen that allows you to quickly launch the Task Manager or perform other operations, such as signing out.

This is particularly useful because it can be used to recover from situations where your computer doesn’t appear responsive or isn’t accepting input. For example, if a full-screen game becomes unresponsive, Ctrl+Alt+Delete will often allow you to escape from it and end it via the Task Manager.

Fullscreen a game

When a game opens in a small window, press Alt+Enter on your keyboard.  This should fullscreen the game.
