While typing, I hit the wrong key and I am stuck here on the forums.

There is no `X` at the top right to close out the screen.

Maybe I hit F12 or another key close to that, I don't know.

Can someone help me figure out how to close the window?

I can move around the forum, I just cannot leave and I need to check my emails.

The ESC key may work.

Sounds like you made it full screen.

Try the escape key. It sounds like you told your browser to go full screen.

If that doesn't work, Ctrl-W will close the window. Alt-Tab will let you switch to another application (this assumes you're on Windows...similar key combinations exist for Macs).

With mine, if I hover the mouse in the middle of the very top of the screen, it activates a white X on a black circle which drops down a bit. If I click on it, the screen reverts to normal.

Took me a while to figure it out and I had many very frustrating sessions of hitting the power switch to sort it out before I figured out how to make that X appear.

The F11 key will also toggle you in/out of full-screen mode in most browsers.

Thank you everyone.

The Alt-tab let me switch to a new window.

Next time I do this I will have this thread to remind me what to do.
