Sometimes I forget to turn off full screen on second display when I’m connected to a projector, and I close the laptop then disconnect the projector. If i then open up the laptop with VDMX still running, and I’ve not reconnected to a secondary display, I’m sometimes locked in an inescapable Fullscreen bind. Is there a shortcut lets us get back to the full screen toggle window, so i can turn off full screen? (CMD+F doesn’t always work in these situations, nor does “esc”, I just a hear a “beep” with a distinct mocking like pitch. Occasionally the cursor also becomes a right arrow icon.)
Did you try Shift+CMD+F ? CMD+F brings up the full screen box. The other toggles the display.
Part of the problem might be app focus? If you have switched to e.g. web browser or Finder when you close the laptop, then when you open it VDMX won’t be getting your key presses even though it is covering your display with its content. In particularly terrible cases, I’ve had to cmd-tab, cmd-f, cmd-tab-tab cmd-f cmd-tab-tab-tab etc to cycle which app has focus until I can get to the full-screen offender and turn off fullscreen.

I am playing around with NDI Video Monitor: VDMX is sending the output via NDI to a (locally running) instance of NDI Video Monitor which is run in fullscreen mode on the second screen. Closing the laptop, disconnecting the second screen and re-opening the laptop does not cause issues, just tested that.
Thank you “Shift+CMD+F” was the trick.
