@Simeon @Luatee Sorry, you must have made a mistake, you said “double-tap” instead of “triple-tap” so I assumed you meant tapCount. I do use the triple-tap occasionally, but I could always just kill the Codea app.
+1 for Jakattak proposal
I’d rather make it a flag or explicit display mode, e.g.,
displayMode(FULLSCREEN_NO_BUTTONS_NO_ESCAPE)
or
displayMode(FULLSCREEN_NO_BUTTONS, false)
(Where the second parameter toggles escape gestures)
What about if we make the escape gesture a bit more meta? For example, we could make it so that if you press the home button while running a FULLSCREEN_NO_BUTTONS project, and then resume by re-opening Codea, we convert it to a FULLSCREEN project.
I like this a lot.
I use the triple tap feature all the time when i’m in fullscreen no buttons. Don’t know of any other way to get back to the editor.
@Crumble there is no other way to get back unless you implement something which calls the close() function. How does the home button option sound?
@Simeon the home button option sounds good, I think the user still needs the ability to exit Codea without changing the displayMode. If the multitouch gestures differ from the home button in terms of what is called then it should be alright.
@Luatee well the home button option would replace the escape gestures. So in FULLSCREEN_NO_BUTTONS mode the only way to exit (if you don’t call close yourself) would be to hit the home button then re-open Codea.
@Simeon, either a flag in displayMode or the home button approach could work well.
Wow, this thread has turned into pure awesomeness.

you really need to.
These sound like really good ideas, it would completely solve the problems with the escape gestures in full screen mode.
Just out of curiosity, would it be possible for you to turn on/off access to the notification bar that appears when swiping down from the top of the iPad screen? It sometimes annoys me when I’m moving my finger around near the top of the screen and Apple’s notification bar arrow appears.
@Crumble @Simeon currently, swiping from the left edge of the screen brings you back to the editor when in FULLSCREEN_NO_BUTTONS
Tonight I have discovered major problems with the two finger triple tap escape gesture when used in full screen no button mode. You can read about the problems at the following thread.
codea.io/talk/discussion/6210/full-screen-no-buttons-escape-gesture-problem
This is just a quick update to let Codea users on this forum know that the two finger triple tap escape gesture has been removed and will not appear in the next version of Codea.

The escape gesture is now removed from Codea 2.2 in favour of pressing
the home button and resuming the app, this seems to work much better.
It will be released soon!
